Avatar can't be racist because they draw their characters as Chinese, if they were racist the characters would be all white just like Japanese anime lol.

That person doesn't look very closely at the cartoon at all :<, if they want to nit-pick they could go on about the prejudices of the characters inside Avatar and say how those prejudices set a bad example for kids...

But as Avatar is aimed primarily at kids and the major fan base is kids it's highly unlikely that Avatar is racist at all >.>.

That entire paragraph was a cluster ******** it's aimed primarily at young adults. Though the show holds appeal to all audiences.

I don't think it is aimed at young adults :<, the maturity age of Avatar went down to children when Sokka and Toph were being big fat bullies in the finale (I've been bullied enough to know what bullying is >.<).
So because of that the maturity is aimed at young children now. Besides if it was aimed at young adults then the show would have less gaps, like why doesn't Azula have the same weird illness that Zuko has in season 2? They have the exact same blood, Azula should have experienced the sane turmoil inside her if the blood is good and evil >.>.

She did not go through the same turmoil. Zuko had a choice battle, she was simply abandoned, her sociopathic nature is what drover her crazy, when it culminated beyond into paranoia. Or hell, ask it about any siblings. Why does my sister get constantly sick while I'm normally healthy as a horse? Or why do I have nerve related hives and my sister doesn't? I mean we share the exact same blood right? It's not like I could possibly take after my dad who had the same ailments and she take after my mom.

If you want to go by that argument why not go with why is Ozai so evil and Iroh's such a nice guy? The answer is experiences. Zuko was obviously different, more from his mother's side, whereas Azula is her daddy's girl, believing in domination and cruel imperialism. Ozai didn't have to deal with what Iroh had to deal with.

What does the bullying thing have to do with anything? They're children for christ sake, and practical jokes that they pull are hardly bullying. In fact the only real instance where Toph could have been bullying is in Bitter Work where she takes advantage of Aang. Just because the characters are children and have childlike tendencies doesn't make the show aimed towards children, because they are put into adult situations and have to make complex decisions that a strictly young child audience couldn't completely grasp.

Precisely. There is no bullying, sure there are practical jokes, but the only thing that could be considered bullying is Toph's intimidation tactics in Bitter Work.
