Hm.. I always thought she'd be considered Native American or Native Alaskan. Not that it matters either way to me, she's still awesome no matter what. :3
Korra I think we can safely assume isn't Indian. And by American standards she would be black based on looks.
She doesn't look Black to me. She actually does look more Native Alaskan to me than Black. Her facial features don't look Black at all, in my opinion. Just because she has darker skin doesn't mean she's Black.
But like I said, it doesn't really matter what her race is. And really.. she's not Black or Native American or anything like that. She's Water Tribe.
I highly doubt that the races in the Avatar world are the same as the ones in the real world.
" Her facial features don't look Black at all"
I probably shouldn't say anything on this, but I will since I'm an ethnic studies major, but a lot of you guys just trying to prove that she isn't black, but Inuit/Native are doing it in a very racist sounding way....Blacks/African-American/West Indians/Africans, don't have 1 set of facial features.
Blacks-meaning people of African descent who don't identify as African American, West Indian or African, look different and have different features than those we categorize as black.
This is a black Moroccan and ethiopian women, meaning they're from Africa and black:
These are African American women, meaning they're from America and black:
These are West Indian women, meaning they're black Carribeans:
My problem with you guys saying they don't look black, is that you're probably falling into the stereotype that all black women are fat, big lips, big noses, without realizing that being black is different everywhere, and not all black women need perms for straight hair as one user said.
Though I do agree that Korra is Inuit like the producers said, not all black people look alike or have stereotyped features.
Oh no, no, no! I'm not trying to stereotype blacks at all! And I MOST CERTAINLY don't think all black women are fat with big lips, noses, etc.
I mean, you can say the same with pretty much all races. None really look 100% alike and I understand that completely!
Never the less, she still doesn't look black to me, and not because I'd expect her to look like a stereotypical black women. She just looks to be a different race, most likely Inuit, Native Alaskan, Native America, or something of that sort.
However, it definitely wouldn't bother me if she were black. It also wouldn't bother me if she were Hispanic, Asian, or any other kind of race under the sun. Korra is Korra and she is awesome.
