After looking into the actual trope MighteyWhitey I learned that it has little to do with the actual race of the person. The only reason it is named that way is because most American fiction focuses on white protagonists.

MightyWhitey is [[SquarePegRoundTrope actually]] about a person coming into contact with a foreign society and after a few minutes (relative to us) learns their way of life, becomes better at what \\\'\\\'they\\\'\\\' do \\\'\\\'\\\'and\\\'\\\'\\\' usually become their savior. The \\\"Mighty\\\" part of the Whitey is certainly cynical but it isn\\\'t \\\'\\\'any\\\'\\\' instance where a white person is supposedly better than a person of color.
That would void Sokka and Katara from the trope altogether (as neither prove themselves superior to another culture at their own skills), and assuming the movies are anything close to the series unless Aang is in the Avatar State he is never shown to be better at Waterbending than Pakku or Katara, superior to Toph in Earthbending and is far from matching Zuko in Firebending. (Even then there are a lot of questions concerning what Ringer\\\'s exact pedigree is)
