When you spend enough time watching animated media where almost every woman is the palest blonde person you could ever imagine, a "white girl with a tan" (lol, I grew up with a lot of light-skinned, straight-haired, narrow-nosed yet obviously black and Latina girls who would be very upset if someone ever called them white) is a breath of fresh air. Korra is a step in the right direction and unlike you, some people don't have the privilege to reject every positive advance until animators get it perfect. Any character with dark skin who isn't a blackface stereotype is happy day for me.

Thanks so much for this comment. A someone who isn't white but has straight hair and lighter olive skin, I've been side eyeing some of these comments so hard.

What people need to realize, is that Korra is significant to us in the real world. Rarely do we see someone who is gay or someone who has darker skin as a main lead of a mainstream show. Let alone a mainstream show that's in a sci-fi or fantasy genre. Sure, it happens, but it's a lot rarer than the typical straight white male main lead that is in SO MANY action movies, fantasy novels, etc.
