Don't look at either, if possible.
You're saying don't look at Sokka, but not Zuko?

To be honest, I don't care about Jackson being in Twilight. Every actor has done a terrible movie at some point. He certainly looks the part, which is a plus, of course.Don't look at either, if possible.

Still, I'd like some reassurance this isn't going to be the next Eragon.

That guy didn't even do anything in TWILIGHT. He just stood in the background looking awkward.
This cast is odd. Too odd.
I never found Sokka & sis to be 'brown-skinned'. Sokka looked more like tanned to me.I will support the Langsta Rule of Casting and point out that this is absolutely ****ing ridiculous.
Why are a bunch of white kids playing brown-skinned waterbenders, the Asian avatar and the bad guy who was played by a Filipino-American?
It's ****ing insulting and it's ****ing stupid, and I can't find any fathomable excuse for why this is so.

The Water Tribe culture is really heavily based off of Inuit culture.

Incidentally, I wasn't implying they were all Asian, so much as that they're from a diverse set of non-white ethnicities.
And when I meant brown-skinned I was actually trying to translate "kayumanggi" which is a Philippinoe expression for a skin color that is brown but not African brown, so it probably hews closer to tan or 'mulatto'.

Ah, Texas. The place of crazy Republicans, damn good BBQ, and Butt-Numb-A-Thon.
I just hope they choose the best and add a little make up, than get a ****ty perfomance
We just call that Hispanic, or if you're from Texas: Mexican.
People here in Chicago, at least from my experience, also say 'Mexican'.Ah, Texas. The place of crazy Republicans, damn good BBQ, and Butt-Numb-A-Thon.
