I don't think some of the harsh comments have actually read an article or watched a video. No one is being racist against whites. They are showing people clear misrepresentations of the minority.
Racism is such a bad word now, that even the racists, who know they are being racists don't want to be called racists. So the natural thing to do would be to tell someone calling them racist to be the racist themselves!
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
@MrMusicPlaya the racebenders and everyone pointing out the racism is racist because they see racism??
Apparently you're not allowed to complain about racism anymore because that would make you racist. Racism is such a bad word now, that even the racists, who know they are being racists don't want to be called racists. So the natural thing to do would be to tell someone calling them racist to be the racist themselves! fucking hypocrites
That is a fucking lie!! If you put a asian guy on the big screen you would have more vierwers because people are sick of seeing those fucking white faces everywhere being forced upon us! They force themselves into our brains and subconsciously impose thier ways on us and I hate it and those disgusting fucks for it. Fuck them!!!
@darkkkonyx I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
it dosen't really matter how well the kids performed their own act it matters how they performed the movies stunts. If noah could do those stunts just as well as the asian kid it comes to the acting which the camera man even said at 6:25-6:27 that paris preformed it very decently, i don't want decent i want awesome and if noah was awesome i give the role to him.

when talk to people who are against this movement you can hear how deeply rooted the racism really is. Most of them say things like "the movie was made in america thats why it only features americans" as if american means white. like anyone who isn't white isn't an american.
Shut up the fuck up, none of you guys are even going to boycott the movie. You know dam well your still gonna go see it so stop fucking whining. And you can't change it anyways.
one thing i don't understand about the "racebenders" is, if they think the casting of the movie was racist for casting the main characters as caucasians when they thought they should be asian, why was there zero controversy about aang katara sokka and toph being vocied by caucasians in the cartoon? It just doesn't make sense to me.
The idea that voice actors have to correlate with their characters is so easily debunked. Since when does the voice actor have to be the same race as the animated characters anyway?
Appa/Momo - who're animals in ATLA are voiced by a Caucasian guy so should a "white guy" play Appa and Momo in the movie?
Other notables:
Bart Simpson - "The Simpsons" - voiced by a woman.
Apu - "The Simpsons" - voice by a Caucasian guy.
Gaia - "Captain Planet" - voiced by Whoopi Goldberg.
You wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between an Asian-American voice and a Caucasian-American voice who both spoke proper English. Yes, Asians, Africans, Hispanics, and people in general are able to speak proper English and don't have to be slandered by the mocking of their accents. Why is it that English accents are considered sexy, but Asian accents considered a turn off? It's because every time we hear an Asian accent, it's connected to an ugly nerd on TV.
Since you're touching on the topic of voice actors. Were you able to tell that Zuko was voiced by Dante Bosco, who is Filipino-American without having to research it first? He sounds like everyone else, in that he speaks proper English.
ok I think that the racebenders do have some good points about racsim in hollywood, but i do not think they apply to The Last Airbender. Its a matter of opinion i guess, but I never thought aang looked asian i thought he was caucasian, in fact i didn't pay attention to race when i was watching the show. But when I saw Noah Ringer i really thought he looked a lot like aang, I support the last airbender, but i also support people fighting for equality.
I think you are missing a point ask yourself why did you assume the character was white? is that your default ethnicity for any pale characters on TV?
No, its not, but for an animated television show taking place in a fictional world, race really doesn't matter. Throughout the entire show, I never thought of aang or any other character as any race here on earth, but seeing noah ringer, i do not think they could have picked a better person to play aang. I think he looks about as good as we could have hoped, considering he was a made up character on a cartoon show.
@Aang7777 Yes, he may look and act the part as well, but so could have millions of young Asian boys. It's the fact that Avatar is influenced heavily by Asian culture that it makes us upset that the main cast is made up of Caucasian people + an Indian man (he's Asian, but still, making Asians the villains? Come on).
@Aang7777 This just goes to show that the US still has a long way before they can accept that Asian actors can do just as well as Caucasian actors, just as it took some time before Africans could be accepted as potential actors.
@Aang7777 It's not whether the person can look or act the part for this movie, it's the hope that Hollywood could have given Asians a chance to be a significant part of the US film industry as well as be able to accurately bring Avatar to life BY using Asian actors because it borrowed so heavil from Asian culture, particulary Chinese culture.
@Aang7777 if race did not matter producers still willingly stated white or any other ethnicity, this is not the same as any ethnicity. By far fact remains it was still discrimintive, concerning the fantasy world comment how come LOTR a fantasy world was exculsivly populated by whites?
I find it halarious that you are boycotting the last airbender, yet, that show had about 3 characters from the first season that are asian, and the first is based on the first season, get over it.
Yea, and the main hero Asian was turned white, the other turned Indian (which are Asian but there was only one Asian on the show) and the rest are white or Asian but reduced to cameo roles. Yea.
Yes, Aang who is not white, Zuko who is not Indian and may other side characters. You are also forgetting all the Inuit people who have been turned white. The next two movies will not fix this either.
I personally would have loved to see the Xin the Urban Ninja or someone from the Extreme Monkey Combat school. Those guys are INSANE and deserve the shot.
