let's just give all of these characters names according to ethnicity: aang = tibetian (obviously), katara = inuit/alaskan, zuko = japan, toph = korea, etc. if you notice (and this is really obvious), the whole series is based off of asian history. fire nation is japan and its conquest to conquer asia with its more modern tech (ww2 and pre ww2), earth nation is a mix of korea and manchuria in which it stretches all the way to the great wall (ba sing se = great wall), and japan conquers korea and manchuria, making the ones originally there, slaves. idk about the tibetians and the alaskans though. maybe in those cases, the fire nation represents western culture. avatar = crapload of symbolism (in fact the avatar itself may be a representation of the UN).
