While I like Cameron's Avatar, I hate the trope of, "White man joins native tribe and becomes better at being a native than the natives." That trope is bullshit.
Y'all ever watched the deleted scenes from the Extended Collector's Edition of James Cameron's Avatar?
There's enough footage there for a stand-alone movie
That weird moment when you're watching James Cameron's "Avatar" and you suddenly want to write an essay on Racism and White Privilege
i.e., why are the 'savage' yet wise Omaticaya basically African and our main hero a white American male?
