Who gives a shit? It's hollywood okay! They're stupid as shit we know that. they've always been stupid how the fuck are you blowing this one thing way out of proportion and being like boo hollywood racism when they're churning out the dumbest shit all the time. why do you even give a shit about what they do? it's like furiously screaming at a murderer for stealing.

Because it controls and reflects the outlook of the people?

Also, as I keep saying, read the fucking FAQ part 2 so you don't have to ask these questions.

I'm not reading no stupid ass airbender racism faq I do not care if you've got a point to make then quote what matters or say it damn.

Original ending of Romeo Must Die in which Jet Li kisses the "black girl" being changed because the "urban test audience" it was tested to got angry that Jet Li kissed the "black girl".

I think shit like this actually happens because they pick some random dumbasses or like with the MPAA system they pick some racist, white, conservative test audience and just keep using them over and over again. I do not think it is some huge hollywood conspiracy people are just dumb and racist and the producers or whatever edit shit out because they're assholes and they know they'll get more dumbasses to watch the shitty movies that way.

Isn't that what I said?

I don't know I didn't read anyof it

iits not completely the film companies fault though because they're just catering to racism and ignorance that is already there in the general audience so I think you're mad at the wrong group of people.

The general audience and the movie producers go hand in hand. The producers exploit the audience to gain money and power, while the general audience goes to watch their bullshit. If one of the variables does not change, than the other has no chance of changing.

And like racebending.com says, that makes racism and discrimination in film acceptable how?

because people are willing and actually want to watch it and no producer is going to make a film that a bunch of racists won't watch.

People will gradually accept these changes, one step at a time. The Last Airbender was a perfect opportunity for this, considering that people WILL watch it regardless.

I wouldn't watch the Last Airbender if there was some asian kid doing flips n' shit. Wanna watch me a white boy do all that.

edit: Wait are there really people who look at a movie and say "Hey that looks good wait...wait a second...did I see a black man in that trailer? Fuckin' MOVIE!! Ain't seein' that shit."
How racist do you have to be?

i witnessed a mother and her child walk out of hairspray because they didn't realize it was "about black people"

however even with that i do not know anyone at all that would do this over asians at all sorry psyburn

And in your case, exactly. So what? Asians? Who cares?

So how come they gotta be white in The Last Airbender?

How racist do you have to be?

It's not about being blatantly racist. You're underestimating the power of images and how people perceive them, even subconsciously.

EDIT:
And uh, how racist do you have to be to NOT cast Asian people to play those Asian characters? I cannot think of a reason to cast white actors besides the color of their skin. Not even, you know skill level or whatever because there are many talented Asian people out there.

Maybe they couldn't find enough asian people who wanted to play all the parts, so instead of having the chick be asian and her brother a whitie, they decided to simplify and make everyone white?

And before you say "but all the extras are asian" well extras dont need to act as well as or be as pretty as the main characters now, do they?

EDIT:
Just letting you guys know I didn't just read this site and go OH MAN I'M AN EXPERT.

so what that they worded it that bad?  that doesn't mean at all that asians couldn't or didn't apply, or that they picked the white kid specifically for being white.  what grounds do you have that say he really WASN'T the best option?  you weren't there, you didn't watch all the auditions, it's not your call on this one!  you're just assuming that they picked him for being white on no grounds, what if he really IS THE BEST THAT AUDITIONED????

it would help if you didn't use a site made by angsty teens for all of your sources

edit: jesus christ this website, it ends one of its faq arguments with "FAIL."  what is wrong with you psyburn stop using this in your arguments i'd rather you have nothing to back yourself up than this shit

I met the people who manage the site. They're far from angsty teens.


Also, I only used that site for like 2-3 recent arguments.

So if Denzel Washington auditioned auditioned for Edward Cullen and met all the criteria, and was not picked, it would have been because of his skin color.

I admit, that is a good argument. But yes, the bad wording is definitely a sign.

The characters don't look or sound asian(except for zuko), besides why aren't you complaining that goku was cast as a white guy? Thats because the movie sucked and this one will probably suck just as bad. Once it comes out you will stop caring.

I did.

I don't think this movie will suck just as bad as Dragonball Evolution. I think it was pretty clear with DBE that the film did not have the budget to sustain a high quality picture, and the director/producers tried to do as much as they could with what they had... But of course, one of the factors that contributed to it's downfall was trying to "edge it up" for young hip kids and whatnot. The Last Airbender on the other hand, actually looks to be the expansive epic adventure that it is set out to be. Even though I didn't really dig the teaser, I see some promise in it.

EDIT:
You know what, that's a good point. Do you guys seriously think that Justin Chatwin was the best they could find for Goku? What makes it the same for The Last Airbender?
