Apparently they casted pretty much everyone from Asia, but the Chinese. - Caucasian (you know why this is here )
- Japanese
- Korean
- Mongolian
- Cambodian
- Indian
- Vietnamese (bound to be in there seeing as they are filming in the country)
I do not see Chinese on this list or heard anything about them being casted. Where is China? p.s. I do hope they consider including Inuit soon. I guess the Caucasians come from here. Gives them a loophole to be on the list. If the Rough Rhinos are in the second film, does this mean we'll have our tolken black guy?

Arguably all the asian races except for India are rooted in China. So you could the china is represented by proxies.

Why the hell am I only seeing East Asians in the EK? Shouldn't they be in the FN and AN also? Also shouldn't I be seeing Native Americans, Inuits to be exact, in the WT instead of Caucasians?
Also, anyone else notice that we would be seeing a white FN if Jesse didn't get the boot? This cast is so racist it isn't even funny. I the entire fanbase would band together against this crap, but alas, the majority of you will take anything for an Avatar adaption, even if it fails to respect the show properly.

The creators haven't ever listened to the fanbase before, smart one.
Really, the director has a right to do what ever the hell he wants. I'm with the 5% population that aren't willing to give themselves a heart attack just because OMG SOKKA NEEDS TO BE SLIGHTLY MORE TAN. WHAT IN THE FLYING HECK. DEAR GOD SAVE US ALL.

Yeah right, as if Hollywood would actually cast an ethnicity as obscure as Inuit *snort*. No seriously, last I checked, only the FN baddies were of any non-white ethnicity and the rest were as pale as soap.

I hounestly don't care if there any chinese involved in this movie? Why would anyone care? Because they have a strong belief that the movie would be better with Chinese people.

Like I said as long as they cast some asian or inuit it´s all cool..
Besides fighting styles like shoalin kung fu doesn´t reveal your homeland..
I´m know some people look different because they picked other races but at least the name of this thread pretends it´s a fail because they didn´t cast anyone chinese..
