An interesting read. To answer your various questions:

1) I don't care for either of the Avatar films. But nor do I think they are racist. My detailed opinion on the second film can be found here.

2) Dances with Wolves isn't really a white saviour narrative. Yes, it's about a white man going native with a tribe of Sioux, but he doesn't save them. If anything, it is the other way around. More on my thoughts on that here, if you're interested.

3) I do not kowtow to hive mind groupthink boycott demands when it comes to my entertertainment choices, for any reason whatsoever. Here's a further sample on my related thoughts concerning this matter.
