Listen up Avatar Critics...

        Director and writer, James Cameron’s 2009 Avatar, astonished the world with its story and visual graphics. Avatar made about eight hundred million dollars, and that was just domestically. The movie became a huge success, which brought many critics and reviews about it. Courtland Milloy, a man said that Avatar was directly being racist against colors. He was against the writers of the movie, because he believed that the movie did not need the movie’s protagonist Jake Sully. Milloy believed his character was just another way of heroizing white men. Milloy in his article finds similarities between the Navi tribe and other colored people in this world. However, when watching this movie there was no direct attack to another race or ethnicity. The critics are bluntly mad that the hero was yet another white person, but honestly as viewer, I could have cared less about what race the protagonist was. His character could have been Asian and I would still like the movie equally. As a colored person myself, I did not feel attack or harmed by the movie at all. The movie made allusions that were similar to Native American tribes,  for example the whole movie was basically like Pocahontas. Jake Sully is John Smith and Neytiri is Pocahontas, Neytiri teaches Jake the way of her people just like the way Pocahontas taught John Smith. If anything, critics find racism in Avatar, then they should review every movie, whether it is a Disney movie or not, every movie has a little bit of racism. Nevertheless, accusing Avatar of being an attack against races is an unfair and prejudicial statement to make.
