Are you serious? Just because your going off of the way a picture looks, doesn't mean that he's not what he's portrayed as. Aang is a quintessential chinese name (usually with only one "A"). Aang was also raised at the Southern Air Temple, that was hidden in the Patola Mountain Range. Now, can you tell me that the Potola mountain range is not directly based off the Potola Palace of Tibet? Isn't Tibet in the west of China? Another point I'd like to make is, The Avatar has lots of martial arts. Every bending form is based of a type of martial art. Air bending is based off of Ba Gua, Water bending is based off of Tai Chi, Earth bending is based off of Hung Gar and Fire bending is based off of Northern Shaolin Kung Fu. Toph is the only bender with a unique style of bending, that is associated with her blindness. Her style is based off of Chu Gar Southern Praying Mantis. All of these styles are again Wushu. Even the scenery and lore of Avatar is inherently Asian and Inuit inspired. It is true that Aang doesn't look asian. But that fact doesn't make him any less Chinese. I mean come on, can you really tell me that when you hear the name Toph Bei Fong, it doesn't denote an asian name? Hell, clothes, food and eating utensils are asian. It makes me think that people like you are really daft and small minded. Your probably one of those people that reads a book that was set in South America and says "Lets make a movie of this book, but lets have it set in Sweden and with Swedish actors." Get real buddy. Avatar is an asian conceptualized series that put America on the anime map. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to degrade it.
