I'm not telling anyone not to watch; just presenting certain inconvenient truths about the movie. It'd be like sticking the cast from The Departed in Hong Kong (as Triad members and HK policemen!), to film a remake of Internal Affairs. Or using the all white Hollywood cast of The Magnificent Seven to play Samurai in Japan in a remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.
It's a big deal to Asian kids in North America, where Asians are the minority. I was actually happy to see East Asian culture (finally) being represented in cartoons when Avatar: TLA was still showing, so it's quite disappointing to see my favorite characters in the series having their race changed because of a stupid marketing decision.
