Asian American Comic Con -- Part One

[shakthemighty]

Good for you guys. Keep up the good work. It's time for this nonsense to stop!

[Snaggletooth40]

naive people . I swear.The writers are white and think about it 90% of the original cast is WHITE !! Minus Iroh (Mako) Zuko (Dante Basco)

The voice actors are what MADE THAT SHOW!!!! They gave it depth and feeling . The animation was just the portrayal of that feeling . Who cares what color the skin. If they can sell the feeling of the original show that's ALL that anyone should care about. Watch it or don't and stop crying about it

I'm not boycotting "The Last Airbender" period. People judge race and not concentrate on the qualities of these actors/actresses.

[smurfyy]

well if you say that, then many other movies with caucasian leads should've been given to minorities because of their (lack of?) qualities. but we all know that isnt the point here. it should be what FITS in the movie scenario; and to be fair, a full caucasian cast doesnt belong in a movie brimming with asian influence and inspired by eastern teachings.

[KH2Fangirl]

Yeah they can't say that they can't have an all Asian cast. I mean look at the upcoming movie Ninja Assassin, there are TONS of Asian actors in that film.

Keep it up guys.

[mojobobo178]

ninja assassin looks soo awesome. I am impressed by Rain's stunts.

[smurfyy]

i think even hollywood would've had to think twice before casting a NINJA movie with an all caucasian cast.

[InterMultimedia]

since when tla is a ninja movie ?

[smurfyy]

we're talking about ninja assassin here buddy.

[HiFiEffect]

While I am happy that Asian crew is being represented there is a reason why they are asians.People know ninjas came from Asia. With a made up fantasy lands, people can argue that they resemble asian and native americans but hold no ties to their real world counter parts.Thus people that say that cast should be asian become racist cause they looked at all the aisan influences and assumed that. Which is correct because the creators made it that way. People need to be aware of the original vision.

[tinydancercsd]

Thanks. The worst response to the racebending issue EVER is people saying "Well, you're the racist for bringing this up, aren't you!"

Sigh.

[PissRhyss]

awesomeness!!!

[laurariddle292]

That table is full of win. Congrats for spreading the word!

[Isaia]

Yeah, it's horrible due to ignorance people refuse to talk about this thing. They simply don't want to hear it. It's very sad.

@Isaia

They want to keep the status quo concerning a very old issue.

Modern Asian Americans are not a silent minority. An open, mature, and thoughtful dialogue needs to be opened. Americans before us sacrificed and endured too much to give us the freedoms and rights (they did not have) so that we have the opportunity to wisely exercise change. To not challenge this is to not build upon the strong foundation we have not earned and to silently conform with the politically correct.
