They meant minority as far as privilege not how many of them there are. The benders in this world have more privilege due to their strength and powers. Sometimes it is used to oppress the non bending minority.

[diet_poison]

Man, the use of the word "minority" that way is confusing. just sayin'

[(Anonymous)]

As I said above: Sorry, I guess I should have said "non-privileged class" or something of that sort. I mean, original anon hasn't seen the series, so I was trying to sum it up.

[kikkyo]

I don't see it as a majority/minority sort of oppression, just the oppression of the powerless by those that have power. IMO with the amount of power that the benders have over the non-benders, numbers wouldn't matter.

Y u white, Korra?

[diet_poison]

lol are u srs

[kikkyo]

Nice try. ;)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm reasonably sure that that's a screen cap from the show, so...

[kikkyo]

Pretty positive it is. By the looks of the lighting and shadows in the rest of the icon it's just a bright light shining in her face, I didn't think it made her look whitewashed. :/

[fuchsiascreams]

NO NO NO NO

AS A LIGHT-SKINNED POC, I CAN TELL WHEN LIGHT-SHINING-ON-FACE IS BEING USED IN THE CORRECT WAY, AND IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS TO ME THAT IT IS BEING USED IN THIS WAY ON PURPOSE BY YOU (POSSIBLY IN CONSPIRACY WITH THE SHOW'S ARTISTS) TO WHITEWASH THIS CHARACTER OF COLOR. I AM OFFENDED.

[opal_skies]

But actually...I've seen vague mention of some people on Tumblr using the word "whitewash" in conjuction with Korra, though I have yet to discover the origin of their argument. Something about Bolin...? What...is that even about? Because I'm not getting it.

[fuchsiascreams]

I honestly have no idea. I'm not actually familiar with the show, but I've seen a lot of Korra wank on the part of SJWs who disagree with the way fan writers and artists portray her as having too light of a skin tone in their works of art, or having problems that "aren't ethnic enough" in their stories.

[(Anonymous)]

Considering how the show made Sokka white in the flashbacks, they're not above fucking up.

And that screencap is edited as fuck. You can edit without whitewashing.

[kikkyo]

And it doesn't look that way on my pc. Pretty sure this was discussed in the other comm somewhere.

[(Anonymous)]

Just. Stop.

Showing Korra in glaring light is so much of a fucking non-issue that I cannot even believe people bother to point it out.

It is as far from actual racism as you can fucking get.

(And also reminds me of Transformers Animated fandom, where Western fanartists tended to draw Sari as brown as she was in the show, while Japanese artists frequently drew her relatively really pale.)

[fuchsiascreams]

WOMAN OF COLOR HERE. I AM NOT OFFENDED BY THIS. LET'S MOVE ON UNLESS ANOTHER PERSON OF COLOR COMES AND IS OFFENDED BY IT.

[fuchsiascreams]

Are you fucking kidding me.

[(Anonymous)]

they probably are
