Okay, buddy. Here we go:

It gets tiresome when every movie white washes or uses white actors to play ethnic parts. To say looks and race dont matter is dismissive. How many of us while growing up never saw ourselves in Hollywood movies unless it was the villain.

I'd rather not go on a rant here about the implications of your comments, but I'll rebut and say I do care, and whoever's doing it should care. Because reasons.

Yeah, no. While I would also like good actors, director and writer, each nation lends from actual IRL cultures. So I would like that to be shown in the film adaption as well. White Katara and Sokka won't cut it.

The race bending was the least of his problems. The biggest was to try to take out what he called "the childish humor" which made his film completely soulless.

Minus tragic incidents like when Aang's entire people are systematically eradicated.

It seemed pretty obvious to me that it was satire. Cover your friend with a blanket, bring extra shoes in case you need to change so you can run for your life, always be ready to jump out of a moving cab? Those aren't serious tips, yo. Those are making fun of the bullshit "don't get yourself raped" tips.

i'm going to make my own personal flag and any time i go somewhere new to me i am going to put the flag up and tell everyone there i discovered it

Thank you very much! As a Caribbean woman living in the States I almost vomited when some white kid with dreadlocks once claimed to me that he decided to grow his locs because it was a Celtic tradition.

Scones. I Columbus the SHIT out of scones. I also Columbused Earl Grey before being into tea was cool. I'm basically the discoverer of white-people style breakfast.

So we're talking about cultural appropriation, racism, and what you take away from this is you need to defend vegetarians who weren't even being attacked? I think you may have missed the point...

More like the hipster ice pop shop that "invented" tamarind and chili ice pops instead of fessing up they copied their best stuff from Mexican paleterías. Yes, that really happened on an episode of Unique Sweets.

Oh so it's silly?

Ummm....That's not the point I was trying to make.

My dad says Anglo-giver too! We thought he made it up. I hope he adds Columbusing too.

Some kid the other day told me and my friend that eating food outside of our culture was cultural appropriation and that we need to "cut it out." -_____- I'm white, our food sucks, I live in Miami, I'll be at the Cuban cafe down the street if anyone needs me.

No, sorry, your inane reply is what's pedantic, and it's not even apropos pedantry at that! Anytime you start listing definitions for no reason other than to "disprove" points, you're an asshole. Fact.

This is a perfect word. I can't wait to use it the next some someone raves to me about how they have discovered yoga, coconut oil, being a vegetarian or any other things people of my culture have been doing for centuries.

Wow. I shall add this to my repertoire along with "Anglo-giver" which is a phrase I made up to replace "Indian-giver". One of my white friends got a bit pissed about it until I explained that historically it tended to be the Europeans who made promises and then reneged when those promises proved to be either costly…

It's been happening for centuries so.
