MAJOR FAIL

Due in theaters in summer 2010, "Airbender" has already begun to face a bit of controversy over the casting of white actors like Rathbone, Ringer and McCartney to play Asian characters — a concern [Jackson Rathbone] was quick to dismiss. "I think it's one of those things where I pull my hair up, shave the sides, and I definitely need a tan," he said of the transformation he'll go through to look more like Sokka. "It's one of those things where, hopefully, the audience will suspend disbelief a little bit." - Jackson Rathbone is a moron

They should've just gotten Mickey Rooney to play the part.

And what would be the downside to hiring actual Asian actors to play Asian characters????

One of my favorite reasons that people have been using is 'But the children want to see white actors.' *headdesk*
