@IndependentGeorge76 My old daddy would have agreed with you. It used to make him laugh and his own prejudice would come out. He'd say, "Look at that Dego... or that Whop... stick some feathers in his hair and some warpaint on his face, and you got a hollywood Indian. They won't even let us play ourselves in the movies. Damn white eyes!" LOL And he'd laugh! I thought it was pretty funny. I still do. We Indians have a good sense of humor... gotta laugh or you might cry! Can't have that!
@dizzhonest LOL My old daddy used to say, "see all those Italian Indians?" He used to think it was pretty funny. "While Indians are everywhere, Hollywood has to make up Indians."
It is deeply grossing me out to see European actor playing native american when there is abundant pure blooded Apaches or their close cousins - Navajos. I am not racist, but I like historical accuracy in both events and processes.
Just compare Jeff Chandler with rest of the Apaches. He looks plain different among them. Lets imagine what kind of fury would arise if Apache actor played king David, or Aimara actress into Queen Elizabeth.
WHAT A JOKE! Many of these old westerns SUCK and are filled with HOLLYWOOD LIES. They always make the "NOBLE Native American" stand up for the white man while still getting shafted by the white man. AND the fight scenes are so RETARDED! You hardly ever see a Native American beat a white man in hand-to-hand combat in those ANCIENT western films. And the APACHES were known to be great knife fighters - SEE "DEADLIEST WARRIOR." (Apache vs. Gladiator).
@AngieCosco RIGHT ON! That's telling him! GERONIMO was supposed to take all those CRIMES committed against him and his people and not do anything?! I think he was a FREEDOM FIGHTER for his people. GERONIMO was just a very MILITANT person, born to be a WARRIOR.
