I don't think that's a good argument because it rationalizes Americans using African-American for people who do not live in the United States. While African-American is the most politically correct term for Americans, this usage is considered ignorant by non-Americans if it is not also considered offensive and marginalizing. It makes sense from an American standpoint to use African-American because the term is more PC than black, which can be considered rude. It makes no sense from anyone elses. It would be better, therefore, to use a term that makes sense and has actual meaning in the context of the person it describes.

But Korra is not a PERSON. She is a character. She has two contexts, her own fictional one and ours where she's something a little different from the usual lead character in western media.
