When they release the Mole God! (Maro's teaser said there is a Mole God in this set)

Love the flavor. When it turns out your friend was a sword in a trenchcoat the whole time

I for one am pretty into them making various versions of Evolving Wilds going forward. I always like seeing the new version of Threaten each set and this might become similar.

This doesn't seem accurate at all. The census itself doesn't display this info, is it from their website? Race is self reported so I don't get why a origin map is relevant. Also, the US census does not consider hispanic/Latino to be a racial category. Folks who select that option for ethnicity are ALSO asked to select race seperately.

Yeah that seems right to me too. Source is the census, where Hispanic is an Ethnicity, so unless they excluded White Hispanics for some questionable reason I can't imagine this being accurate.

Sweet, thanks for the update, Rick!

There are definitely themes in ATLA based on Indian cultures, such as the name of the show itself, but most of the characters are more based on East and Southeast Asian cultures. Dunno why things ended up that way. Lots of the characters are lighter skinned like the actors but Katara and Sokka are definitely exceptions. Both actors are indigenous North American but their animated versions were much darker. As a fan of the show, I think the actors seem like good choices so far but I can see it being seen as lightwashing for sure. Having more South Asian looking characters would feel very normal in-universe so they could do that in later seasons.

That section of the map overlays very closely with the Navajo reservation. AFAIK that area has high levels of poverty and a lot of homes do not have electricity at all. See this article that came up on search: https://amizade.org/keeping-warm-in-the-navajo-nation/
