botias | Which Minority Are They?

I foolishly did not get tickets to the 3D showing upon leaving the matinee and it sold out while we were at dinner, and so here I am in my underpants, checking out the internet buzz about Avatar while I wait for A to acquire the South Park take on it: Dancing With Smurfs. I can't wait. It seems that folks can't decide whether the blue folks are stand-ins for the Afghans/Iraqis, oppressed folks anywhere in the third world today, Native Americans back when, African slaves back when, or the Irish (back when). My vote's for Afghans, with a generous helping of oppressed folks anywhere in the third world. I wish I thought it would make a difference either way.
