Racism in Avatar: The Outer-Body Solution to... →
After watching Avatar, most of my comments reflected the racism I had observed in the film. Albeit, my comments were made with humor in mind, the nugget of truth was still there.

SCORPIO: You can’t wheedle your way into people’s good graces. If you think you’ve got to connive or conspire to get this to happen, you don’t know who you’re dealing with. Most people are happier about it when we play it straight, and this particular individual is no exception. Your efforts to please are appreciated but you’d get a lot more mileage out of this if you could figure out what it is...
