Racebending is a neologism used to describe a process where a character's perceived race or ethnicity is changed in a narrative by an adapter as it is created in a new media form. The term was coined by one of the founders of the website Racebending.com, which was created to protest the casting of white actors in the 2010 film The Last Airbender, where the originating TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender featured characters of East Asian appearance.
