Asian News
I get all my juicy asian news from angry asian man. In this link, unfortunately, is the bad news that the whole cast of the live action movie of Airbender is white. Huh!? I just assumed that they were all asian of various regions. Sokka and Katara are darker and from the pole so I thought they might be eskimo-related, while Ang seemed Chinese to me and Zuko (who is even voiced in the animated series by an Asian guy, and his uncle was voiced by the wonderful Mako!) and the Fire Nation seemed very Japanese.
Also AAM notes that the Dragonball Z movie is also cast white. Very sad. In happier news, Daniel Dae Kim is going to play the Prince of Siam! I'd love to see that.
