first, i'll create an epic fantasy cartoon about the struggles and ultimate victory of oppressed peoples against their oppressors. just for the fun of it, i'll base the characters on real life ethnicities. then, i'll turn that smash hit of a cartoon into a movie.
but, wait for it, here's the twist: i'll cast historically powerful ethnicities as the oppressed and powerless ethnicities as the oppressors. I know, GENIUS, right? Plus, it was a FANTASY cartoon, i can do whatever i want. it's not like making another movie like Glory where slaves are depicted as whites and slave masters as blacks would be crazy or anything. i mean, it's called ARTISTIC LICENSE.
oh wait, sorry, they already made the movie. It's called The Last Airbender. Damn, and here i thought i was being all progressive.
