Dueling Racebending Articles on SCIFI Wire
Today SciFi Wire posted two dueling editorials on the Racebending issue:
Does Last Airbender discriminate? YES
and
Does Last Airbender discriminate? NO.
Racebending.com co-founder Marissa Lee argues:
"If not in a franchise like The Last Airbender, then what other opportunities do actors of Asian and Inuit descent currently have to star in Hollywood blockbusters?
Ian Spelling of SciFiWire argues:
"Was it truly Shyamalan's duty to do what no one else has been willing or able to do?"
Share what you think over at the two articles! Remember that comments that are calm, collected, and firm in your convictions, are more likely to be posted and taken seriously. Thanks!
