Would it really make a difference if they cast a kid of Chinese, Vietnamese or Cambodian descent for the roll? If so, how so?

Bullshit.
Monk Gyatso is the only one who looked even vaguely Asian, and that was only because he was old for some weird reason, when he was young he looked even whiter than Aang.
Most characters in Avatar look white, fact.
Not like it really matters anyway.

So there won't be any mind blowing plot twist?? Or mabye there will be! Half way through the movie we'll realize that everyone is in fact not only dead, but they are also . . . . . . . . UNDER WATER! fear

The Avatar story is pretty decent as it is, so I do hope he sticks to it and doesn't add any of his twist.

it's kinda like casting black panther and african king as a white person, it doesn't change the character or role in anyway it just seems off.
Poor comparison, as the Black Panther is distinctly black, while Aang looks Caucasian (white skin, blue eyes etc) and that kid playing him looks a lot like the anime.

movies like these are made for suspension of belief. just because he's not asian doesn't mean the movie is racist. they didn't cast a real cyborg in robocop.. was that movie racist too? how about hairspray? john travolta was cast as a female. was that movie sexist? chillax people.. it's a damn movie.
