Hello! Welcome to COTL, a discussion place for BIPOC. Posted the first 3 Wednesdays of the month

Thread Rules

1. We ask that only those who identify as people of color participate in this discussion. White Avocados, while valued members of this community, should remain in ‘lurk’ mode.
2. Shaming and hateful speech are unacceptable.
3. Please keep potentially traumatic content safely behind spoiler tags.
4. Nobody on this thread is more or less a person of color than anyone else. (We will not set clearly delineated boundaries on who qualifies as a ‘person of color.’ As a starting point, this thread uses the definition of ‘non-European heritage of sufficient prominence to affect one’s navigation of a society built on white normativity.’ However, we recognize that there are identities which skirt either side of the divide. If people feel that they meaningfully experience the identity of being a person of color, then they are welcome to participate.)

Hello everyone. Hope y’all are well.

The Netflix Live-action adaptation of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ came out a few weeks ago, for which I created 2 discussion spaces. The Issue of Colorism popped up & I wanted to get some insightful takes from the people here?

It does seem like a shame that no Inuit actors or actresses were cast (as far as I can tell) for a show that is meant to ‘sort-of’ prominently represent the culture? The casting was pretty great on a lot of the other fronts.

Feel free to discuss anything else on your mind.
