Derek Kirk Kim has a blog post up about the Avatar movie and the racist casting decisions involved in its making. Read it here. I haven't got around to watching Avatar yet, but that's hardly the point. What's going on there is pretty disgusting.

Mr. Kim's set up a petition for creative professionals. I'm not a pro, but I know some of you reading this are. If this whole thing ticks you off (as it should), please think about signing it.
