Been done to me often enough.
In anycase, I do get your point, but I really think that in such a case the movie commits such a crime at zero greater rate than any other movie. Last Samurai, Dance with Wolves, Braveheart, blah blah blah, there are tons of movies put such a contrast between "civilized white man" and "noble savage". And plenty of movies do it just as ham-handed and bluntly. To condemn Avatar for it but not in other movies is hypocritical (not saying you're doing that. I haven't heard you say anything at all on that about similar movies)
I don't know. I just agree with Danny that people are making way too big a deal. It's just a movie.
