Some of you may not be aware but the casting for the Avatar movie has started. All four of the main characters will be caucasian

Meh. I care, but not enough to hand write letters.

I plan on printing out their example letter and hand signing it and sending that out.

I have a feeling that the only type of letter I'd actually feel impassioned to write would only harm the cause. E.g.:

"Dear Producer Assholes,

Kindly remember that the show you plan to produce a live action version of consists of a cast of NON-CAUCASIAN characters. Ergo, it would be inappropriate and insensitive to those cultures to place Caucasian actors in those roles. In fact, one could go so far as to say that it would be a "douchebag move."

Note that this Caucasian actor ban does NOT apply to Jason Isaacs. He is super-fantastically awesome-tastic and I would like to ride his face. I suggest that you clone him. In the event that some unseemly accident might prevent him from completing the film, the clone would be a fantastic stand-in! I would happy contribute to a "Clone Jason Isaacs" fund, provided I were able to retain the product of such an endeavor.

I have lost my train of thought and can't finish this letter properly, so please remember - DON'T BE THAT GUY."

I LOVE that letter!

....

maybe you should send it.
