To start off, who has heard or has seen Avatar: The Last Airbender? I know there are some people here that have...
Now, think of actors and actresses that could FIT or accurately portray the roles, especially the main characters, in that universe. Are you thinking Asians? Native Americans? Maybe some
Latin Americans? Did you think that it was great opportunity for people of a different ...
I don't think Dragon ball was that bad. There were a fair amount of Asians in it. Goku and the one chick was off?
Edit. Don't forget Jackie Chan. <3
I don't plan on doing any of those things because I don't care. surprised

Jackie Chan doesn't count, he lives in China.
And I'm sorry about your apathy.

Oh well. Samuel L. ...
tl;dr.
I'll just assume it went something like this: "white actors in OUR asian animated-inspired movie!? BAWW! Racists!"
I think you need to take a chill pill and reflect on what makes a racist. M'kay? And even when they do put an asian as one of the actors, you baw over that he plays a villain (even though he's really not in the animated show). :/

Mmm, we can pretty much face it.
The American public pretty much likes the same old same old when it comes to movies. Pretty much everyone is white. There's a reason for America being called a melting pot of ethnicity, where the goal is to have everyone the same... And Canada a salad bowl, with all separate parts of the salad kept apart.
Canadians get the American movies, though -_-

Kobanya deadguy Sovreign Lord Smiley I'd be mad as hell if I was the shows creators. EDIT: Now that I look at it, I can live with Aangs actor, but katara and sokka's actors are so white, it isnt even funny. and why doesnt Zuko have his burn? He does, it's just realistically a little harder to see. His cartoon one looked more like a rash than a burn. I thought his scar was like a third/second degree burn. It would be more...
HatredBearOmNomNom I'm sorry I wasn't very clear. I meant the filmmakers of the avatar movie which I use as a pretty broad term. So yes I meant the casting director. Yes I'm saying it doesn't matter that they're white, it never should have and if they appeal to the majority I don't see the practice as racist. I also honestly don't think that a few hurt fans is going to hurt the sales of this movie all too...
Appel Cyder There are more Asians in California than blacks... it would serve to reason that you'd NEVER see any blacks in movies. actually you see blacks all the times in movies what are you takling about i just saw g.i joe and there was blacks
"Appel Juice" "Tobias_London" "Appel Juice" "Tobias_London" "Appel Juice" "Tobias_London" The Ultimate universe is fairly new. Nick Fury was a white man. This is a new change. Colossus isn't gay in the original comics, but he is on the Ultimates. Yes, but the ultimate universe has been drawing Nick Fury to look like Samuel L....
"Omorose Panya" "(gossamer)!smile." Hers is racism. Theirs is creative license. They're allowed to pick and choose who they want. And unless you can prove it for some dark, shady ulterior racist motive, it's not racist. It's just their choice. Since when does racism need to be intentional? "(gossamer)!smile." But lumping them all together as 'whitey tryin' to keep...
Kobanya Vixianna Marris I've just got the curly black hair, very light tanned skin ... I wouldn't even know how to describe my look ... narrow, square jawed, full lips ... hmm, I've been told I look somewhat like Rosario Dawson ... only, y'know, whiter. Maybe you just like European mythos more, heck, even other countries use Europe as a creative tool. It's pretty common actually, they have an attractive culture and...
You may want to amend that to "popular culture" rather than America. Harry Potter and Santa Claus aren't American heroes. Potter's British and Claus's German. :]
So, is a reverse racist someone who tries to reverse racism? Because that seems to be the functional definition from the way that whiny, entitled racists use the term.
deadguy Spellbinding Truth deadguy Spellbinding Truth deadguy No, they were a fairly war-like tribe. Quite a few native people were. People seem to have this idea that the native americans/south americans/Innuits were the ancient equivalent of hippies. They weren't. They had wars just as much as any other civilization. It's just that, while other nations had the ship building know-how to declare those wars on other nations, the...
Rawkxy Vixianna Rawkxy I don't know why my birthday is set to a weird date... I really don't x_x Last I checked Inuit's weren't Asian's. I'm Canadian, so I'm thinking of the people who live up north. Maybe we're talking about different peoples. And unless they changed these 'marital arts' to Wrestling or something equally as white, I don't see how they would have removed the...
