Regarding the \\\'\\\'{{Avatar}}\\\'\\\' versus \\\'\\\'DistrictNine\\\'\\\' example, the latter originally existed as a short film some time before \\\'\\\'{{Avatar}}\\\'\\\'.

Not sure if it actually is inspired by \\\'\\\'AlienNation\\\'\\\', but the two works (and in humorous examples \\\'\\\'{{Coneheads}}\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'ThirdRockFromTheSun\\\'\\\') are about an \\\"aliens as immigrants\\\" theme.

While \\\'\\\'{{Avatar}}\\\'\\\' is similar in the way all these works allude to real-world racism, it\\\'s probably no coincidence that it\\\'s the only of these works where the aliens don\\\'t have more sophisticated technology than humans (because it\\\'s about a different theme).
