>1. No non-benders serve on the Republic City council.
Just during the timeframe of the show, on Aang's time Sokka was the leader of the council, as well as some air acolyte.
>2. Though there are some exceptions, Sato, Cabbage guy, most non-genders live in the slums.
False, bending is so common that there are still plenty of benders in proverty because its not that special when 1/3 of the population can do that. They had an episode on the first season showing it when they hide among the poor. Hell, if anything, the show showed that its more common for NON BENDERS to be the most rich and powerful: Beifong on Aang's time, Cabbage corp, both Earth King and Queem, Sato, Varrik and so.... but this isn't any "non bender" conspiration, just luck most of the time; after all, any rich non bender can have a bender child, and any poor non bender can also have a bender child too.
>3. Only benders (earth/metal) may serve as police officers. There are several cases of abuse, too.
Agree, but seeing that Mako joined the force, it started changing, which shows that there are better ways to deal with it than "overtrhow the governament, destroy bending!"
>4. The government subsidies the lavish living of Airbenders on Air Temple Island.
They are basicaly an endangered specie, and nothing says that the governament subsidies them, even so, Tenzin is part of the council.
>5. Non-benders only means of advancement is marrying benders.
Never stated anywhere, and contradict the show.
>6. Almost all high profile private occupations are made up entirely of benders.
Actualy, seems like the opposite, most benders are on some sort of manual larbor.
Anyway, Equalism is like fighting against gravity, its stupid because you will never really get rid of bending. Among would probably take years to do that on RC alone, much less the world (and benders would likely still born). After 3 or so months, other nations would likely have destroyed Equalists after they conquered RC.
