** Of course, Depp was \\\"adopted\\\" into the Comanche nation by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaDonna_Harris LaDonna Harris]], Depp has evidently identified Cherokee ancestry, and Depp isn\\\'t the first non-Native American actor to play Tonto, so really what are they complaining about?[[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike Casting choices they don\\\'t like]], basically.
*** Actually, they\\\'re complaining about a long history of white actors being cast as non-white characters because directors have unconscious prejudices against putting non-white actors in leading roles. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Depp#Comanche_adoption Also]], Depp said he was \\\'\\\'probably\\\'\\\' part Native but hasn\\\'t actually looked into it, the Cherokee tribe does not recognize him as a member, and the adoption makes him a part of Harris\\\'s \\\'\\\'family\\\'\\\', not the Comanche Nation itself. So for all intents and purposes, he is in fact white. Plus just because there\\\'s a precedent for something doesn\\\'t make it okay.
Regardless of the other stuff, can you substantiate the allegation that Depp\\\'s casting choice was a result of \\\"unconscious prejudice against putting non-white actors in leading roles\\\"?
And if Depp is \\\"for all intents and purposes\\\" white, then what you (not necessarily \\\'\\\'you\\\'\\\' you, just generally the other guy you) are doing is [[NoTrueScotsman discounting any claim he may or may not have to Native American...ism for the sake of maintaining your position]].
Now, as to being a member of Harris\\\' family and not a member of the Comanche nation, that\\\'s really just splitting hairs. Interesting tidbit: John Wauqua, who is Comanche Nation Interim Tribal Chairman (which, I don\\\'t know what that is but it sounds important XD) was present at the \\\"adoption\\\" ceremony thingamabob.
