I don’t normally try to get preachy, but since I saw the casting for the movie “The Last Airbender” I’ve been a bit irritated. If you don’t know what I’m talking about Avatar – The last airbender is a great cartoon filled with beautiful imagery and style. The main characters are mostly of some Asian decent. For the movie version the director has decided to go with a bunch of white kids who just don’t look the part AT ALL. This is about as deep as I want to go. My kids really want to see this film but I don’t intend to spend my money in the theater. Maybe we’ll rent it. Maybe we’ll go out and buy the animated version.

Gene Yang does a much better job of explaining it.
