If you guys havent heard the Entertainment Weekly annoucement of the cast of "The last Airbender" was relased several weeks ago.
It has been reported to be an all white-cast to represent an all-Asian and Northern Native American round of characters.
Theirs a huge movement happening to stop the cast, since it has not yet become official.

Heres a couple of links:

Heres my letter that I will be sending shortly:


To Ms. Kennedy and Mr. Marshall:

As a 24-year old undergraduate student enthusiast of the Nickelodeon television series Avatar the Last Airbender, I was extremely disappointed upon reading the Entertainment Weekly casting announcement for the live-action film “The Last Airbender.”
When viewing any episode of Avatar the Last Airbender one can clearly see that it delves in an Asian and Artic cultured world. The appointment of actors who clearly are all of European decent to depict these characters, would not just be a sign of disrespect to the art material, but directly to the very cultures and peoples these characters are meant to represent themselves.
Though I mean no disrespect to the individual actors and their craft, I believe that the placement of an all-European-decent cast to portray an all-Asian and Artic cast is a sign of the continued bias, prejudice, and intolerance that prevails in American media today.
If the casting continues as it is, I, and many of my friends and family will not support the release of “The Last Airbender” due to this evident sign of bigotry.

Thank you for your time,




Fernando Servin
