The Boulder takes offense to that comment.
I agree. However playing devils advocate they were “from the colonies.” It could explained they changed their names to fit in better but picked bad ones. From the perspective of the headmaster this could be an adequate explanation.
Yeah even the class teacher doesn’t blink an eye when Aang doesn’t know basic things about Fire nation, because ‘he is from the colonies’
I always loved how quickly Katara rolled with the Fire last name in that scene. Didn’t even give Sokka a dirty look.
I mean, there’s lots of French people called François (which comes from the same base as France), a German musician called Drafi Deutscher, so many people of various levels of renown with English as their surname that the Wikipedia page links to several disambiguation pages… I mean, there’s people with “Human” as their surname.
Surnames can be remarkably blunt.
(Also, Sapphire Fire. It would’ve been hilarious if Katara started taking like Starfire, though. “This is my husband, the Fire of the Wang.”)
Don’t you go bad mouthing Rocky. The Mountain clan has done lots of good for this community!
