    I just thought of something since the avatar movie would be like a martials arts movie and there would be all asians characters wouldn't that be stereotyping?

    The stereotype that all Asian people know martial arts is not really a bad stereotype. I take no offense to it.

    PS: I actually think it's kind of cool!

    True but its not sencless. Most Kung Fun Movies are about some criminal trying to get money and a Kung Fu detictive come in and kicks there asses. THis one is about a war. History to back it, Genoside, Elements, Spirt World and so much more.

    Its not be a sterotype when the show is centred in a Asian (with Innuit with WT- THOUGH their bending style is Asian martial arts like the rest). Its like them getting a white guy who looks like a kid to play Zuko in the DBZ movie (James Masters doesnt count because he is Piccolo and will be in make up etc).

    There are plenty of good Asian actors, stuntman/martial-artists (In the Matrix). The show is made by Americans yes, but the shows philosphy, cultures and ppl in the show are asians (and innuit )
