I believe the comments came from the OP's Facebook or Tumblr feed. My guess is that they saw them as "coded" black because they're the darkest skinned of all bending tribes.Have to say, this is an odd reversal. Most posts like these go “This character is clearly coded black, y’all just racist.”
Otherwise, it’s a moot point since by the author’s own admission black, white, and Inuits don’t actually exist in their world; hell, you’ll never see a pure blooded Inuit with blue eyes. Still, the influence is clear and I’m not sure how you can get black from her.
If people want to see them as being "black", then that's their prerogative. As pointed out, they live in a world where our concept of "race" does not exist, so it all doesn't matter anyways.
I've seen black people who dismiss and undermine the suffering that other people have faced, because in their eyes it will never "compare" to the suffering that they have faced.And so it begins.
I really do have to side with the Natives here; they are an excellent example of a race suffering just as bad as other races yet still get the short end of the stick to prop up blacks. Any pushback from the Natives is simple karma.
These same people, many of whom act like they "can never" be racist and how everyone is seemingly out to get them.
