Pocahantas with blue people instead of indians?

Just think about it.

Pete they were still "Indians" in Avatar - blue "Indians". Or blue "Africans". Cameron uses both groups of people as a metaphor to further demonize the company/humans in the movie (i.e., America).

Why not though? It's a legitimate point. Indigenous rights and all that. If you want a realistic example, look at the actions of ExxonMobil in Aceh (separatist region of Indonesia). They deliver a large stipend to the Indonesian government for access to the oil and gas fields. When Acehnese separatists started attacking the ExxonMobil operations in their region, and the Indonesian government only gave a lukewarm response, ExxonMobil withheld the stipend until the Indonesian military was further mobilised.

And then you've got mining operations in the Amazon. Or Australia. Or Africa. I mean shit, it happens in my country, and I'm not happy about it. I don't see why anyone should be so upset about this 'demonising' of the West, when it is a legitimate viewpoint held by many.
