If your overall stance is "whatever," why bring it to this post, where everyone's stance is very decidedly FOR that which you think is "fucking silly?" If your stance is to sit back and do nothing, then by all means, but you're not going to change the minds of anyone who feels like doing something, you're just going to boggle and/or upset them.
In any given situation, there's always a person, or group of people, who just don't care, or don't care enough, and that's fine, that's just how it is, you can't fake a feeling for something. But it isn't a reason to belittle the feelings or actions of the group that does care--that's not taking a side, that's not arguing a point, but nor is it staying out of it or being indifferent. It's just being an asshole.

Yeah it makes sense, and that's fine, there's lots of PoC who don't care about this and lots of white people who *do*. Just given the tone of your original post it came across as a little holier-than-thou.

O__________o are you serious? She's trying to show that the entirely Asian world that is Avatar, should be populated by people of Asian decent... and you're wondering why she's donating to the Media Action Network for Asian Americans?

Trying to start a "Who's more oppressed" contest doesn't solve ANYTHING. Way to really fail there.
