The new movie "Avatar" is being criticized by a small group of people who allege it contains racist themes. The film's write and director, James Cameron, says the real theme is about respecting others' differences. In the film, humans find a recently discovered the planet Pandora which contains unobtanium underneath the 9-foot tall blue Na'vi home. The substance is worth 20 million dollars per kilo back at Earth. Even though the movie Pocohantus has basically the exact same base story (white-americans against indians; One person from each race falls in love with each other), Avatar is still predicted racist by at the end of the movie when a human villain says , "How does it feel to betray your own race?" to the white hero who has chosen to stay a nine foot tall, blue skinned alien.
