You realize the reason we see only cultures derived from Europe and Asia in our world (and not just in anime) is because Europe and Asia have made a much bigger impact on the world and its culture right (and even Asian culture got shafted for awhile by European exploitation)?

They'll diversify it (and they have certainly already) but if you want every Earth culture to be present by the end, don't be indignant when they don't. They're telling a story, not minting tokens. Just because it isn't in the show proper doesn't mean they don't care about it, they just don't want to focus on it (because it isn't exactly important).

Btw, they did have a figure in WoR with an Ancient Egyptian headdress, that count?

Avatar was its own world and it was a creative choice to make it mostly Asian influenced (it feeds into the look and feel of it being a sort of "Chinese Folk Legend" in a way). I'm sorry it didn't have a random Fillipino guy in it for the sake of diversity and representation (they had to make room for the first bisexual couple in a popular western cartoon show).
