The most Rue-ish Topic ever! :3

Rue in the Hunger Games was brilliant. She made me tear up so much at her death. But there's something that's bugging me. The racist people who are angry that Rue is, in the nicest way "African-American." I mean, really people? That's what race she was supposed to be! Goodness.


Oh, y'know. Madness and such. You read mai post? Thanks. :p

I thought she was awesome.  When she died I didn't cry(I rarely cry at books) but I got all teary eyed and almost cried at the movie. :'(
The racist people are just being idiots.

At least Thresh was able to avenge Rue's death.

It says /specifically/ in the book that she has dark skin and dark hair.


Yawn, another boring text signature. I should really make something better.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I've seen her in the trailer and in photos and I think the casting couldn't have been better. She looks almost exactly how I imagined her in the book. Almost. Exactly.

And yet these racists hate her...

This is a temporary signature. It will exist until I think of something witty.

Rue is awesome. She and Cinna are my favorite characters. The girl who played Rue did a wonderful job. I actually cried when she died, and I almost never cry at movies.
Racist people are just idiots. I don't really care what they say, because I know it doesn't make sense and they're just being stupid.
