114) Because Sokka and Katara are TOTALLY Asian. And every voice actor on that show is Asian as well. Get over yourself.

138) Will you please marry me? That made me laugh hysterically. Both secret itself and the picture. XXXD

153) I KNOOOOOOOW right? Thankfully my best friend and I watch all the bloopers together and know when they come up in the episodes. xD ~~NOT EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY, JOHN!~~

agree with you 100% on 114. and plus, i love the sarcasm.

I accept your proposal! I can't take credit for the picture, though, sadly. I snagged it off of

omg_too_soon.

YAY :D :D :D *goes to buy the rings*

Reminds me of when, a month after his death, me and my best friend started calling him Heath Deadger (much to the horror of the people around us). We still call him that. xD

To be fair, I think the majority of the actors should be Asian. The culture, mythology, clothing, even the food are so clearly Asian-inspired. The writing is Asian.

I mean, they can maybe try to make the Water Tribe folks look more Inuit (not sure how they'd do that- how many Inuit-American actors are there in Hollywood?), but casting all white kids would still be insulting.

Yeah, I don't want them to cast a bunch of white Hollywood manufactured teen stars either, but I do think it's ridiculous to say that ONLY Asians can be cast. Besides, the casting isn't the only way to reflect the aspects of Asian culture within the show- like you said, there are other factors that display an Asian influence, and I doubt that they will be totally left out of the movie. And honestly, I'd rather they cast kids based on talent than on looks.

P.S. I love your icon. <3

You make some good points, but I don't agree that looks should always be ignored if the actor is talented enough. If that were the case, why not cast, say, Edward Norton as a black two-year-old girl? It sucks for the actors, but no matter how talented you are, there are some roles you can never play because you wouldn't be credible in the part.

And considering how often the cast of a medieval-Europe-influenced fantasy is 100% lily white (depriving POCs of the chance to play awesome characters), it's more than time the reverse happened for once. I don't think it's all that strange to expect a story set in a bastardized version of ancient China to feature characters who look like they belong in the world and time period. (Besides, I'm sure there are plenty of talented Asian and Native American actors you've never heard of because it's so hard for them to find work who could do amazing jobs in the movie.)

IAWTC and your secret.

Sorry, I forgot to mention in my secret that the Water Tribe was an exception. I was referring more to Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom characters. But I still stand by my opinion that it would be at best inaccurate and at worst offensive to cast white actors in most of the roles.

Anyway, what do voice actors have to do with it? It's common in cartoons for women to voice men, adults to voice children, and humans giant dinosaurs. That doesn't mean you'd cast a thirty-year-old woman to play a fifth-grade boy in a movie. Live-action is a whole different kettle of fish from animation. You can peg people's races from their appearanced in a way you can't from their voices.
