While the cartoon was Asian influenced, the main characters did NOT look Asian, AT ALL!!
Aang? Sorry, looked caucasian to me. (like the rest of the Air tribes)
Katara/Sokka (and most of their Tribes)? Except for their dark skin, I don't see ANY resemblance to the Inuits.
The only ones who actually looked like Asians were Zuko/Azula, Toph, and the other Fire/Earth kingdoms.
If the creators of A:TLA are complaining about race-bending, then they should have made most of their characters look like actual Asians, with epicanthic folded or double eyelid eyes. And Didn't the South Water Tribe's princess look WHITE (not just her hair).
Who would you rather see play Aang? That druglord kid from Tropic Thunder? ROFL (he was also young Storm Shadow in GIJoe, who spoke Korean but is supposed to be Japanese?!?!? yeah, don't get me started)

I'm not saying it's an Asian show. You're right, it's totally American.

That would be a great excuse if the lead villain in the movie weren't being played by an Indian.

He's either relying on attendance or nominal gross, and neither is an accurate measurement. *NM*

True, but I think that's because they were going for the anime style.
