It's actually a story about corporate & military control and greed. It's wonderful.

Nope, it has a social message about the white upper class elitist kicking the Indians (oops, I mean Native American) off of their land.

    No, the only racists in this article are the uneducated and nearsighted morons that think the whole world is out to get them.

    It's not about the white man and the native, it's about the human species.

    It is terrible that folks would even go there with a movie. Is there not real news to talk about and report? Unemployment, health, etc...

    I thought it was liberals trying to force an agenda down the natives throats.

    Spin it this way: the reason the Na'vi were spared was because of the lone individual who was brave enough to overcome his prejudice.

    If this movie is racist, is it also anti-women because a male was the lead character and not a woman? Is this film anti-primitive smurfs?

    How is it a racist theme against natives? Do whites find it racist since they're always perpetuated as the one's mucking everything up?

      There will never be an end to racial bias as long as there are bigots on any side. Minorities seem to want racial bias to live forever.

      And what kind of racist theme would be developed if Cameron had made the Na'vis green and the "conquerors" purple?
