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.

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.
