Asami doesn’t exactly look Asian or meant to be Asian either. Yeah all of the characters in ATLA/LOK are based on Asian countries, but it is a completely separate world. We can talk about ANALOGOUS countries/societies, but we can’t exactly stand up and say “Asami is Japanese. Korra is Inuit” even though those characters come from societies based on those cultures. We can discuss how they’re based on those countries and how there aren’t white people in LOK though there are still very pale people who resemble white people (Air Nomads, Fire Nation), but…yeah. We can’t exactly say “Asami is Japanese” anymore than we can say “Winry is German,” because while both of them come from places clearly inspired by real places, they live in a completely fictionalized world with cultures that are based off of real-world cultures and not those cultures themselves.

there are still very pale people who resemble white people (Air Nomads, Fire Nation),
