For having all the black actors play CGI characters thus not really appearing on screen?

Maybe.
The casting was diverse though overall and the biggest issue would be yet another white guy coming to the aid of natives.
I think Avatar flopped that a little but in the end Jake still arrived to rescue them like the second coming of Jesus.

I thought they made the White, Straight, 'Merica, Hooo-Rah! Marine the idiot. The tribal/ethnic people saved him. He was living life with his eyes closed, ignorant to the ways of the universe and spiritual life. |

Most white heroes learn something from the natives they save but their knowledge of the natives enemies give them a distinct advantage. In Avatar they changed it up a bit because he wasn’t really the one who saved the day. it was the planet although he may have been so awesome that he was the one to inspire the planet. Plus he was saved by the damsel in distress...twice. Still it did take him to motivate the masses to fight. |

Then he knew the white man/Marine weaknesses and strengths. So he gave them the Intel and thus knowledge/courage to fight. It was a team effort. |

There are a lot of things about the Movie "AVATAR" that I like but I think that the Number 1 Thing that I myself like about "AVATAR" the Most is Stephen Lang's Performance as the Main Villain in it.
He was Freaking AWESOME in it!
GREAT Movie!!!

However, the star of the film will always do something more. It’s what differentiates him. Again I think Avatar is great at circumventing as best they can the tropes of a typical fish out of water trope for these kinds of movies. But the influence was not equal. Jake clearly influence them more when it mattered. Yes he learned their culture and ways and won their respect, but it was his ways, his bravery, and his knowledge of the enemy that emboldened them to fight. |

Possibly, from some corners. But I think the complaints people have about the plot today would overshadow it.
