To be honest I know nothing about Avatar or Korra, so I'm just gonna guess the water tribe was modeled after the Inuit people? Well that explains some things about Korra's appearance for me. I have no idea what they where going for in that second picture though...

The bayou people of the Southeastern US?

Complete with stereotypical redneck idiots looking for food (see Princess and the Frog.)

I always got a Indochinese vibe from it. Their names are very Vietnamese...

Why the Cajun accents, then?

I mean, if you're going to get stuck on that, why the American cultural references? Why are they speaking English at all? I guess Aang and Katara and the rest have American accents, given they're voiced by American voice actors--are they supposed to represent Americans?

It's an Asian-inspired, Asian-set world. Yes, they have Cajun accents, but that doesn't make them Cajun or even based on Cajuns. The accent is shorthand for backcountry swamp-dwellers. Aside from being funny, it indicates their separation, culturally and linguistically, from the rest of the A:tlA world. If the show was made in China and everyone was being voiced in Chinese, they would have given the Swampbenders whatever accent is appropriate for rural swamp people (like I said, my guess is Vietnamese).
