She of the heavy lidded eyes? Looking back on it, I didn't realize how spectacularly white the mains of that series were until years later.
There is one Arabic name in the Pure Blood Directory from Pottermore, and that family is part of the sacred twenty-eight which means they were well regarded by the other pureblood families, and we don't know if other Pureblood families married out of the country rather than marry non-purebloods, so any number of them could have mixed race portions of their family, like this universe's Mai.
Either way, Katara and Sokka are definitely from a Muggle family. I get a kick out of Sokka as a Muggle who is caught between thinking his sister's magic is annoying and freaky, and thinking this is cool, I want to incorporate it into all the science! But I also worry that if he's muggle, he won't ever show up in the universe plotlines, or interact with any of the characters other than Katara.
