Movie: The Last Airbender

Pretty much. But just to clarify...

As far as Sokka and Katara are concerned....ya they had brown skin in the cartoon, but they were shown as an inuit culture (plus, you know...living at the poles)....i dont know any brown skined inuits, or indians that live at the south pole. So to say that they should be played by asians or some other ethnicity is ridiculous cuz they dont resemble any particular ethnicity. If anything, they looked more like tanned/mixed white kids if you take away the cultural clothing.

Why, then, was the rest of the water village cast as brown people? Specifically, why did they then ask for "Near Eastern, Middle Eastern, Far Eastern, Asian, Mediterranean, and Latino," people who were told to "look like a Ukrainian villager or whatever"?

That i was not aware of, and given that additional information, it does become blatantly racist...But in this case i'd argue if you're going to go that route, mite as well go all out racist. Cast the whole village as white and be done with it....then again, hollywood is retarded.
