I think an argument that non-white actors should be allowed to audition for Katniss who is described as white might not carry a lot of weight. But I think the 'Katniss isn't white' argument has a lot of milage - all we get in the books is "straight black hair" and "olive skin", which fits mediterranean, or perhaps native american - she's not described as white at all. Her mother, yes, is pale and blonde, but that's all.
