Avatar and Anti-Racism
“Hernan and Andrew” have a review of Avatar over at Racism Review. They draw valid comparisons between Avatar and Dances With Wolves and The Last Samurai. In all three of these movies, “a white hero who leads people of another color in a struggle of liberation presents whites a pleasing images of themselves as saviors rather than oppressors.” “Hernan and Andrew” describe Avatar as “another fantasy solution to white guilt in which the white hero crosses over and pretends to be black or native American.”
It is important to observe here that “Hernan and Andrew” are opposed to the White race traitor who leads the Pandorans to victory. In their racial narrative, Whites are evil by definition, non-Whites are inherently good. Whites cannot be absolved of their racial guilt by their actions. There is nothing a White person can do to overcome the moral stain of being born with pale skin. Going native, marrying a non-White, joining the tribe, taking up arms against White oppressors … none of this is sufficient.
I find this highly refreshing. I’m pleased to see anti-racists finally laying the anti-White card on the table. White people need to realize that anti-racists hate them for who they are, not for what they do.
