6. Jennifer Lawrence – The Hunger Games (2011)

I haven’t read the books so I won’t get all high and mighty and in all honesty I thought the first Hunger Games was wank and that it was a shitty version of Tartan Asian epic Battle Royale, however, I was still shocked to see the olive skinned girl on fire being played by a ginger white girl.

The reception of Jennifer Lawrence’s casting went pretty crazy at first as fans went up in flames when it came out that the role profile for casting was put out to caucasian actors only and people of colour pretty much need not apply. A great chance for a young non-Caucasian to get a huge part in what will prove to be one of the biggest movie franchises around but Hollywood whitewashing has struck again.
