As I said before, I presume the actors picked are good actors/actresses because I generally have good faith in Night's taste in actors/actresses, not because their white.

Edit: And I don't think he would be involved in a movie that picked white actors/actresses solely because of their skin colour. I've presumed that since the beginning. Though I could be wrong, and I'd join the picket lines.

You should realize though, I suffer from proper middle-class white upbringing - I'm not at all racist, I believe everyone should be equal, and I come from a pretty racially accepting family. Therein, I'm colour blind, racially. So to me it definitely is a, 'What, so the girl's based off of inuits - does that mean a white person can't play her? Or a hispanic girl? Or a native american girl? How about mongolian? Hmmmmmm?' sort of response. I don't necessarily blame you (general you here) for your reaction, though to me it comes across as silly. I guess mark it up to privileged white kid.

Oh, no no, I don't think you're racist or really "white privileged" or anything like that Eventru

But, being "colour-blind" is not always a luxury that everyone can have, because certain things can be missed. I don't think the people who chose the actors were in a nefarious plot of anything, but it's likely they thought it'd be more marketable or relatable or something.

I don't really consider it a luxury persay, because it definitely leads to hard spots with my friends of a more ethnic background and they become upset about something, I'm always kind of lost and having a difficult time grasping exactly why something upsets them so when to me it seems really small.

And, in the end, you're probably right. They probably did cast the actors to be more caucasian looking - though if you really want to get into it, a great majority of characters in the cartoon show were also caucasian-ized - you wouldn't know Kitara was Inuit or even native anything if it were not for the general appearance of her people. Put her in a sari and you'd think she was Indian. Much the same with a great majority of the characters, especially those who took an active role in the story line throughout the series - which was sort of my point to begin with. You recognize their cultural links to the real world based on their garb, accessories, behaviour, style of living. Not so much by how 'Inuit' she looks physically. Now if they had them all running around in American Eagle jeans, I'd probably crap my pants with impotent fury.
