It's a completly logical choice to put white lead when you're a bunch of white people making a movie targeted at more white people :P Not to mention that only the water tribe doesnt even looks white. The Air Nomad's culture is inspired in Asian cultures but as i said it's a good idea to cast a white guy so white kids relate to him better. Water tribe shouldnt be played by white people, Fire kingdom could be played by anyone the same goes for Earth kingdom. But i do think that making a full white cast and not having any diversity is messed up, especially with the water tribe.
About the cast(im judging by looks here since i dont really know any of them):
Noah Ringer: I dont like him :P choosing a white kid is one thing, but a big muscular guy as Aang?
Jackson Rathbone: He looks like a good choice.
Nicola Peltz :Fugly
Jesse McCartney : I dont see him as Zuko at all, doesnt looks like a good choice to me.
