Viva la resistance!

In brief, the Avatar fandom has been torn with the casting of the leads in the upcoming The Last Airbender live-action movie. This has led to an online movement called Saving the World with Postage (also known as Aang Ain't White), which also has an offshoot called Racebending. Both websites aim to create awareness of the casting travesty (NONE of the four leads look like their animated counterparts, and are 3/4 white), as well as the indifference of the movie-makers to racism claims.

And now, they're on YouTube.

[They're on FIYAHH!!]
