.... 'Diverse' does not mean 'nobody is white.'

I shed a tear. Seriously. Poor white people and their lack of representation. You know someone is privileged when they are 'unsettled' with the idea of not seeing their race in every corner on TV, even when it's obvious it shouldn't be there. Uhm, Chinese writing-characters? Obviously Asian-based Empire?

I thought that for western first-world's TV 'diverse' meant, 'one person of color, everyone else white.'

And LOL at 'attributed' imperialism. But you have to wonder about 'brainwashed.' Imperialist, it should be white. Try harder, oppressed white-person.

AND FOR THE RECORD, I don't watch F!S. It was linked on a comm. Because, you know, I have a reputation.

What I found sad about the secret was that all the reasons were Euro-centric. "Since this could apply to this one European cultuire, it can;'t apply to any others."

And did that person LOOK at anything in the Fire Nation? Seriously.

"Since this could apply to this one European cultuire, it can;'t apply to any others."

Exactly. Then this person says something about not being 'brainwashed,' whatever that means. Ugh.

Yeah, so European, that Fire Nation.

Oy, this is painful to read. All their reason to read is as European are so ridiculous. And they thought about it for a long time? Think again.

And the poor unrepresented white person deal *facepalm*

HAHAHA thank you! I thought I was the only one who thought F!S was the lamest of the lame.

I know. You have to be really... something to think for a long time how the Fire Nation is WHITE. Clothes, writing, architecture... it was a clear case of 'I want ZUKO to be white!!!'

Yeah, obviously 'poor white people' syndrome.

XDDDD I can't read anything there. I want to hit something every time I got there.

Heh. I kinda read it faithfullty. But mostly to boggle.

Wow.
Let me begin with something simple and easy to grasp: every screencap of the Fire Nation's architecture and military uniforms yell 'HEY, ASIAN-BASED'.
Way to go, selective blindness. *headdesks*

Yeah, exactly. Just... *headdesk*
