> A lot of people, especially those with an anime background when the show first came out used “ee-roh” for “Iroh”, “ahng” for “Aang”, “soh-ka” for “Sokka”, etc. Until the show was watched enough and the westernized names heard enough that most people stopped. But if you come to the show hearing Asian names pronounced differently it does throw you off. And M Night is a man of Asian descent. This is a toss up because to some asians the pronunciations of the names are offensive in the cartoon, and to fans of the show the pronunciations in the movie are offensive because they’re not show accurate.
Is this really how Asians pronounce these names?

As a chink, I can confirm this is bullshit. Chink cannot read English.
