Hope you all had a great holiday! As for us, we're back from our hiatus with news, more addresses, and some things to keep in mind.

Here's what's going on right now:

Thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us, and for helping to spread the word! We really appreciate it! <3

The mainstream media is starting to take notice...

*raises fists into the air* WOOT!!

[aang_aint_white]

It's a start!

My friend called me the other day just to tell me about the Entertainment Weekly article. I was really excited that this is getting some widespread attention.

Also, do you think you could post this along with the visual essay? It's a video slideshow comparing Asian culture to Avatar:

GREAT VIDEO!!!

[aang_aint_white]

Agreed! We'll definitely be linking to this!

Thanks! It took some time to find all the pictures, but the visual essay inspired me to make this. While I was searching for images I found out about even more cultural ties than I knew of before.

Thank you so much for doing this. :) I've received little support from my online forum so this is encouraging!!!

If anyone wants to back me up and get a bunch of Avatards a little more motivated, you're welcome to spam my forum at http://forums.airbender.net/ XD we've got a couple discussions in "general avatar" in which I'm the only person that cares =P

I feel like your forum should host a contest for the Just Doesn't Get It award and the Condescending Caucasian Ignorance award.

I read some of the comments on your forum too. Everyone's comments are either apathetic, sorry attempts to justify the "colorblind" casting, or flat out insulting the people who want to do something about this. People get on my nerves with that kind of crap. Not only that, what we're doing is obviously not pointless. I mean, we're starting to attract media attention, and at this point, Paramount can't just sweep this under the rug and ignore the fact that the fans are upset about their casting decisions.

We're so sorry that you're having a hard time, but we REALLY REALLY cannot stress enough how much we appreciate that you're trying! For every loud and close-minded person, there's another silent reader who takes comfort in seeing someone stand up for what believe in, but may be too scared to post about themselves. <3
