Race swaps of white=ok, why are you mad about fictional creations? It doesn’t matter. Avatar=you are appropriating culture it’s wrong! Well Kathia, Avatar is fictional and appropriation of culture isn’t limited to one culture.2Liberal Logic with @kathia_woods today. Race swaps of white=ok, why are you mad about fictional creations? It doesn’t matter. Avatar=you are appropriating culture it’s wrong! Well Kathia, Avatar is fictional and appropriation of culture isn’t limited to one culture.Although Woods made her controversial "person of color" opinions about the new Avatar film, she failed to note that some of the characters played in the film are portrayed by black actors. Also, the Na'vi creatures shown in the movie are "indigenous blue humanoids" who reside on the fictitious moon, Pandora.Some of the actors in the film are Zoe Saldana, African American star Laz Alonso, Bailey Bass, and Maori actor Cliff Curtis.James Cameron's latest directorial highly depends on critic reviews and audience scores. While speaking with GQ Magazine, the 68-year-old personality revealed that the film was "very f***ing expensive."He stated that the film needs to make at least a $2 billion profit. It would then become the third or fourth highest-grossing film ever made.As mentioned above, Kathia Woods made her account private after facing backlash. However, she unlocked it and claimed that it was only "some people on the right" who got mad at her tweet. On December 19, she finally broke her silence and addressed the backlash she faced for the "person of color" tweet.Kathia Woods@kathia_woodsApparently I made some people on the right mad with my Avatar tweet to the point someone email me.
