On a semi-related note. In my personal head canon, I never saw anyone in the world of Avatar as white. Thing is, I don't see anyone looking like anything else BUT Han Chinese. Different eye colors and skin colors? Yes. But still looking Han Chinese. Not one European, African, South East Asian, Native American, South Native American or anyone else's face BUT Han Chinese.
So, Korra would look Chinese but with blue eyes and tanned skin. Asami would be pale and green eyed but still Han Chinese.

Uh, why? I mean yeah, no one is white or supposed to be white. But the Water Tribe is pretty clearly based on the Inuit, for one random example.

[mekkio]

Because there is no real reason why the humans of Avatar should look like the different ethnic groups of humans on Earth. Different world. Different environments. Different adaptations. So, in my head, everyone looks Han because that's the core inspiration of the series. With influences of other ethnic cultures like you said the Inuits as well as Indian, Korean, Japanese, Inca. But at its heart, it's Chinese. And that's how I see everyone.

[(Anonymous)]

In your head, everyone looks different than they look because...you think Chinese culture is the biggest influence, and are going to ignore every other influence you see in the show?

I hate saying this, and I'm never someone who says things like this, but deciding everyone is a particular very dominant ethnic group, even if that group isn't white, seems kind of unfortunate, when the show is pretty blatantly not presenting the characters that way. You are twisting canon to make it less diverse, including removing characters that are pretty clearly supposed to be analogs for more marginalized groups, like the Inuit.

I don't see them as all as Han Chinese, but basically all as a variety of Asian. I feel Earth kingdom would be more Han Chinese in my headcanon, while Fire Nation is more Japanse, Water Nation is Inuit and Air Nation is Tibetan - well, not literally, but inspired.

Thing is, there definitely ARE Asian people with light eyes and pal-ish skin, especially in contrast with their hair.

[beverlykatz]

Inuits/Aboriginal Canadians aren't Asian though. Unless there's another group called Inuit that I'm not thinking of?

[(Anonymous)]

They are ethnically the same group of people as Asians, and many of them do live in Asia, in eastern Siberia. The Inuit and Aleut (and other groups) in Canada and Alaska came across the Bering Strait from north-eastern Asia to the northern US.

[kallanda_lee]

If I'm not mistaken, Inuit are genetically closest to being Asian (though obviously not actually inhabiting Asia, but iirc their ancestors are believed to have crossed the Bering strait when it was still crossable by foot).
