Jun. 30th, 2009 01:04 pmI--I just want to see Dev Patel (on whom I have developed an enormous crush since Slumdog Millionaire) play Zuko...
Shameful confession time: I always feel awkward when discussing race on the Internet because I'm white and I'm afraid I'm going to have a "wrong" opinion. I don't like the whitewashing in Hollywood. I don't like Asian stereotypes in Western media, especially speaking here as a growing fan of anime and Eastern media in general. I don't want to imply that I agree with any of these things.
But my friends and I want to see the movie, to see how they do.
I don't like that sometimes I'm afraid to make up my own mind, just in case I'm wrong.
