This is horse shit. via yahoo's front fucking page
"Strange as it may seem for a film that pits greedy, immoral humans against noble denizens of a faraway moon, "Avatar" is being criticized by a small but vocal group of people who allege it contains racist themes — the white hero once again saving the primitive natives."
WOW. They missed the real meat of the movie. An epic story trying to determine if high technology is more important to maintain a society, one based on finance, than living at one with nature, and creating a society based on helping each other. a tribe. this is a very strong ode to the ecologically balanced traditions of Native Americans. The "white hero" only helps, he does not literally save them, just inspires their cause.
"Since the film opened to widespread critical acclaim three weeks ago, hundreds of blog posts, newspaper articles, tweets and YouTube videos have said things such as the film is "a fantasy about race told from the point of view of white people" and that it reinforces "the white Messiah fable."
NEWSFLASH>>>
THE FILM MADE NO REFERENCE TO GOD OR RELIGION!!!
(pretty much everything was backed up with some kind of scientific reasoning..)
"The film's writer and director, James Cameron, says the real theme is about respecting others' differences."
James needs only to explain himself in a very simple way. he just wants us to respect and appreciate the natural wonders of life around you! not the material life that society literally enforces on us. (Don't get me wrong, i still like to buy cool shit, i just don't like the fact that your choices are "conform to our society, or we will remove you from it... ie PRISON!!!!".)
These people have to ask
"IS AVATAR RACIST???"
(tip, if you have to ask you're probably a douche.)
IF they really want to shine light on a shitty news story and spark up some controversy they should just go out and say
AVATAR IS RACIST.
GROW SOME FUCKIN BALLS OTHER BLOGS AND "NEWS PEOPLE"! if you guys really have the cahones to post stupid ass questions like that, then you might as well fucking answer it.
"Annalee Newitz writes that "[w]hether Avatar is racist is a matter of debate," but it isn't: the film is racist."
--Please go leave some internet doo doo on this blog.">
(we could have a blog war! oooh i'm giddy like a schoolgirl!!!)
"(Spoiler warning)
It appears I wasn’t the only one to pick up on Avatar’s racist subtext.."
--no unfortunately you weren't.
Another reason why all this is a bunch of horseradish?
THEY'RE FUCKING BLUE.

yep.... i love the internet, you just think of something.... and...
