Why Gene Yang won't be watching Airbender

Comics creator Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese, Prime Baby) has made a webcomic to explain why he won't be going to see the Last Airbender movie in theaters—in short, Gene takes exception to the producers' decision to use an all-Caucasian cast for a movie in which all the characters are Asian. He makes the argument better than I do, though, and of course a lively discussion breaks out in the comments section, so go, read.

I'm not a big movie fan anyway, so I'm much more likely to while away a summer afternoon with the manga.
