This is so awesome.

[EpicTegan]

I'm white and I am sooo pissed that a bunch of white kids got the roles of asians. The TV show was great, I am very disappointed in the movie casting.

[bopp9]

I am outraged that not a single person in the entire movie was played by a cartooned person. The cartooned race should have a leading role in this movie if you ask me.

@historicalogicalness This is why u r an idiot, this is what arrogance and ignorance does to people like u. Ur telling me it'd be racist to prefer asian actors for asian roles? And think abuot it, Through out history White people have opressed minorities, there is no argument abuot it. The hero's in the series were asian and inuit, why arn't they the same race in the movie? because shyamaln is ashamed of his own kind. So now i'm racist cuz for once i'm askin for minorities to get the lead?

[historicalogicalness]

@venthesen so evil and oppressive people have to be white? now YOU sound racist.

"its a blasphemy for any hero to be white in this" that sounds even more racist.

If they gave preference to Asians over other races, THAT would be racist.

I hated this movie too, but because Shyamalan turned a great show into shit, not because of "racism"

[pawoon]

@ToxicMonkies Yes, some of them do, but Jasmine tea without cream and sugar?

[ToxicMonkies]

@pawoon ...Europeans drink tea..

But yeah, your other points make sense. x]

[ToxicMonkies]

I'm kind of glad Asians weren't in that movies.. it was fucking HORRIBLE.

(I didn't pay a cent for it, so no worries. XP)

[OrTheThirdPerson]

do you really care what color that they are being that the movie is apparently an absolute abortion? the man was a one trick pony. ignore him and maybe he'll go away.

[bishoujoboa]

zaboooooooo!
