Yeah...no. Avatar's problem is that it continues proud tradition of "superior white male" motif that's been plaguing Hollywood since conception and really, there's no winning here. It's not about being pro-humanity, it's about why the fuck is it always the Caucasian male saving the fucking day?

There's too many problems with canon on a meta level that makes it by default the fanfic is going to have meta problems, no matter how they spin the story. So yeah.
