This sounds nuttier than some of Brasco's rabid diatribes. Did they also forget that the villian in the movie is also a whiteman.......isn't that stereotypical and racist too?

Of course Avatar is racist, the human race is portrayed very stereotypically as greedy and destructive versus the oh so noble and honourable aliens.
I should sue, I'm offended.

No...it really isn't racist. I always question the motives of those that see what they want to see.

This is probably the same guy that thought Jar Jar Binks was racist and the Trade Federation were wily Japanese.
Now, if he had made the accusation that George Lucas typed the script for the Phantom Menace one key at a time with his dick, that would at least have made sense.

spoiler alert just in case anyone hasn't seen it
"He falls in love with the Na'vi princess and leads the bird-riding, bow-and-arrow-shooting aliens to victory over the white men's spaceships and mega-robots."
Except the "white men" were also black, Latin American etc etc.. People over analyze things to much, and the movie wasn't all that great anyways (in terms of acting and plot).

Now if someone had told him about there being a cure for priapism we could have all been spared 2 hours of misery!

Avatar is pure new age brainwashing designed for young impressionable minds, its garbage, its tripe, I wouldn't go see it if I was paid to go. I am sure the likes of Rev gore and his euro trash must love it, after all, we all know by now that the nasty humanoids are responsible for global warming..

Nailed it. It's also sexist, since Hollywood is a sexist industry. Massive payments to all groups except white men are due immediately to atone for this. Don't forget the natives who's story was "appropriated" by this white man - only natives have the right to tell that story.

So it's racist because it's a military from earth (last I checked, earth had a large variety of 'races'). The fictional military diddn't just have white soldiers, there were hispanics, asians, african, etc. While a minority in the film. They were still present. However are they calling the movie racist because it has a mostly white cast? because there is tyler perry who pretty much hires a all black cast in all his movies. BET, the name pretty much said it all and what group that is targeted to. I mean, if somebody started a WET (White Entertainment). I bet people would claim it was racist.
There also bagging on the film because most of the main characters of the alien race was casted by a black cast? Ok, than let's not hire african-americans for main casts anymore. Happy?
