They cast a bunch of motherfucking white as they come Disney channel rejects...
*facepalm* I know the whole great thing about Avatar was that the characters weren't supposed to be of any specific race, that no nation was all the same, though this bullshit. Nothing but Hollywood casting of whoever they think will sell. If this was High School Musical or nonsense of a similar ilk then whatever, though this is Avatar. Even if your going with an all white cast at least choose some better people. I mean, Jesse McCartney as Zuko?! JESSE MCCARTNEY as ZUKO?! Ugh...

That said I'll withhold further 'RAGE' until this is 1) proven as the cast by more sources and 2) there's more to see(ex. production shots/trailer).

ETA: So much for 'withholding' RAGE, go write a letter: http://aang-aint-white.livejournal.com/

It really says something when the announcement makes the majority of fans beg for it to be a joke, which is the primary reaction to this. I can only hope that's the case, despite the Entertainment Weekly article.
