The Dalai Lama references are from the Air Nomads, not Fire Nation

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Yes, that's how the metaphor follows through. The fire Nation destroys the air nomads the way the Chinese destroyed Tibet.

That’s because the air nomads are basically Tibetan monks, also annexed by China in the 1950s
