Hey guys, guess what? Avatar: The Last Air Bender AND Dragonball Z live action movies both have a white cast!

These are two comics/cartoons that cannot get more Asian than that serious about a ping pong club. Is it really that hard to find Asian child actors who can speak English fluently?

Ah now, that's the Entertainment Industry.

The question to ask the Media is: why is no one writing about the racism inherent in this?

It is not that hard to find Asian child actors that speak fluent English. When we did a show set in Chinatown there was a long, long list of cute kids auditioning, and everybody was thrilled because you hardly ever get Asian characters, let alone have them star in a show in a Hollywood production.

Those Avatar movie people missed out on a great opportunity. I know for a fact that many of the artists who worked on the animation production are Asian. I bet they are pissed too.
