[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ Apparently the Hollywack producers just can't get it that the main reason why these anime and other Asian inspired series were so popular in America was because it was ASIAN and thus something new and I dare say 'exotic' to the American viewers yet it is these cultural differences that made these series more interesting than the typical Western, Euro-inspired stuff. Now Hollywack thinks if they keep some or most of the Asian stuff but make the stars white it can do just as well or better. The answer is obviously NOT! [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [qb] Exception or not, what they still do to AE in hollyweird is no different from what they are doing to the likes of characters in "the Last Airbender". Here too, 'whites' are put in roles and cultural settings totally foreign to 'whites'. Ignorance of "the general public" is no excuse for this grotesque distortion of historical reality, and in any case, in the face of all the debates revolving the identity of AEs over the years, how does the "general public" still manage to remain ignorant?! [/qb][/QUOTE]I concur. There is no difference with the portrayal of characters on "Airbender" and ancient Egypt. But again, I believe the ignorance on a black African Egypt is much more extensive. As far as debates centering on the identity of the AEs over the years, the problem is such debates are out of range of the general public. Just an example, I know many African Americans who thought Egypt was a 'Middle-Eastern' civilization and didn't know that it was begun by indigenous Africans. Whether African Americans, whites, Hispanics, even Asians. Most folks are just unaware of the scholarly debate on ancient Egyptian identity. That's the problem! And that's why the solution should involve disseminating all this stuff we discuss in this forum all the time to the general public somehow. [/QB][/QUOTE]
