He's actually referring to "The Last Airbender" the movie, and not "Avatar: The Last Airbender" the show.
Show is much much muuuuuch better.
And to highlight what he's speaking about, in the show:
Air Nomads: In the show they are based on Tibetan monks. In the movie, given the nomadic nature, they're sort of a hodgepodge of all sorts of races.
Water Tribe: In the show they are based on Eskimo and northern southern american indians. In the movie, they're more caucasian/off white.
Earth Kingdom: In the show, I feel they're the hodgepodge group, with a very very strong chinese influence. But they give me the impression if caucasian or african races exist in this world, they would be found there. In the movie, they are asian/chinese.
Fire Nations: In the show, they are based on Japanese culture. In the movie, they are east indian.
