    No, the girl who played Gogo in "Kill Bill."

    But seriously, Megan Fox might be good, but she'd have to act better than she did in "Transformers."

    Their cultural and racial characteristics are, by and large, Inuit.

    I agree with you. if everyone are basing there race on region then i suppose you could say Zuko isn't Asian either. if you look on the map and in the show, The fire nation is meant to be resemblant of a western country like America or the UK. All the nations i would say are asian.

    Yeah, but the Fire Nation's culture is distinctly Chinese. The Watertribes' culture is not distinctly asian. It's Inuit.

    It has nothing to do with region. After all, there are no Inuit actually living at the South Pole.

    Though I do think there is a connection between the Fire Nation and the U.S.

    The original firebenders' society is based on the Aztecs, and the swamp people are based on hillbillies. Also Jet, June, and Tom Tom don't sound very Asian.

    Regardless of the names, it's still pretty obvious that the people in the avatar universe are Asian(except the waterbenders, who are probably Eskimos or Native American....they could be an Asian culture with darker skin like philipinos or viatenamese but they're most likely Eskimos)

    If you think that every character cast will be asian you don't know how Hollywood operates. Not to mention of all these "asian" characters in the show a large majority are all voiced by people non-asian people. Not to mention if you call this guy asian, then there's no need for further discussion...

    Most of the characters don't look Asian to me. They lack the facial features. Then again, I grew up with cartoons like this.

    Edit: To add to that, I guess we should technically say Oriental since an Asian is anyone who lives on the continent of Asia. That includes Russians, Turks, Arabs, Indians, and various 'Ese' peoples.

    Regardless, I'm no racist and don't care what race the actors are as long as they have talent. This is the outlook I think everyone needs to have.
