I am native american and enrolled in my tribe but my nieces and nephew are not. Now does that make them any less native? My answer is NO! Bloods blood. Now I do agree we need more native actors playing native roles. But when someone like Johnny Depp who has always claimed a Native background and has always giving native people respect and admiration. Wheres the problem? When I heard of the casting I felt if any "not enough Native" had to be Tonto I am glad it was Johnny Depp.<br /><br />PS- Love this blog, I am not a hater.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-64511520862341313662009-02-11T20:45:00.000-08:002009-02-11T20:45:00.000-08:00I'm not worried about Depp as Tonto so much as I a...I'm not worried about Depp as Tonto so much as I am worried about what Bruckheimer might do to the Lone Ranger story itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-44771764028179006382008-12-15T12:07:00.000-08:002008-12-15T12:07:00.000-08:00How someone looks isn't one of the defining charac...How someone looks isn't one of the defining characteristics of being Indian.
