Isn't it more commonly treated like it set back social justice by a hundred years?

In fact, with the bar set that low you could make the argument it isn't given enough credit. But my perspective might be tilted because the whole "Korra is a white savior because she doesn't act humble like a real brown person" was really obnoxious.

Yep. Freakin' Riley/smallblackangel/whatever their new handle they used to write that anti-Mako fanfic.

And of course, as soon as Korra lost a fight the same people immediately switched gears to calling her an example of POC being stereotyped as weak and victimized.

'them' being 'white fangirls', obviously. Because only tumblr sjws dictate what you are allowed to do.

Yes, but there are some SJW that force American Black/White racial dynamics onto everything. Which is also how the villain with the cult of personality and the "save society by eliminating THE ENEMY" rhetoric ended up conflated with the Civil Rights movement, of all things.
