Did anyone else imagine President Snow as a black man while reading the books?
Because I did. I don't know if his skin color was ever specifically mentioned in the books, but I imagined him as a older, thin, black man with white hair (maybe like a much older, meaner version of Cinna). I find all this discussion about race in the books interesting. Everyone else was as I imagined. I'm of Italian decent, and I always imagine people described as having "olive skin" as looking like me, so I was surprised that some people imagined Katniss as being a woman of color. I wonder if anyone else imagined Snow the same way I did, though?
