Ok, I'm trying to get a solid post together on this and have been researching it, BUT can someone tell me, besides the siblings, what other characters are white in Avatar: The last Airbender?
I've found a Maori, someone from India, a mixed girl, and Noah Ringer, who's ethnicity is unknown but doesn't really look particularly white to me (Although I feel if he is Asian/Hispanic, they have the worst PR people on Earth to not just...point that out. But it also could be a personal preference of the actor, and seem a dicey conclusion to jump to). But I also don't super know Avatar, and I know the argument has been very for Asian people, and the sibling are from the Inuit/Eskimo based tribe, so wouldn't be Asian cast anyway (not that...looking over Native American actors is awesome either). I do know Dev Patel replaced some white pop star (who was just badly cast all around), but who else is there?
Can someone link me to (or link me to a post) that lays out who was Asian inspired and cast with white actors?
