Well, its a fantasy world so I guess there isnt really any race per se ~ but, the whole world is very much Asian - especially Chinese influenced. Both the Earth and Fire kingdoms show heavy Chinese influence while the air nomads kind of give off a mix of Tibetan/Nepalese and Shaolin influence. Why do you think the Fire nation is usually Japanese? Culture wise, they show alot more Chinese influence than Japanese. The most Japanese influenced would most likely be the Kiyoshi warriors. The fire nation does very closely resemble WW2 Japan though in its policies towards colonialism, nationalism, and the general invasion of the rest of the Avatar world
