Rather he was doing what well meaning liberals are prone to do and unintentionally embracing a "positive" stereotype--in this case the high-minded yet sensual woman of colour. Just another variation of the noble savage myth.<BR/><BR/>Brando's intentions may have been good, but unfortunately this stunt probably did more to convince people he was a kook than get them to seriously think about the problems of American Indians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-85749335099993348222009-02-10T10:08:00.000-08:002009-02-10T10:08:00.000-08:00Something I read implied that Brando and Cruz chos...Something I read implied that Brando and Cruz chose the stereotypical costume intentionally. I don't know if that's true or not.<BR/><BR/>If they did, I'm not sure anyone got the message. How many people thought she was a fake Indian and how many thought she was a real one?<BR/><BR/>A good satire is supposed to be exaggerated for effect. As I've said before, you can't mock stereotypes by duplicating them. When intentional flaws look exactly like unintentional ones, it's impossible to know the creators' intent.<BR/><BR/>The right way for Cruz to dress would've been in an over-the-top outfit. Perhaps something like <A HREF="http://www.bluecorncomics.com/pics/cher.jpg" REL="nofollow">Cher</A> wore on her record album cover. Then people might've gotten the message: "We're mocking you for stereotyping Indians."Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-27753745800181975312009-02-06T04:30:00.000-08:002009-02-06T04:30:00.000-08:00What is curious to me is that in order to denounce...What is curious to me is that in order to denounce such things the presenter had to be portrayed by a typical Indian maiden, another stereotype. I suspect that Brando felt that in order to be "recognized"this had to be done..I guess he never saw the pictures of those in the A.I.M. movement and couldn't consider bringing his "art" into the current times in order to introduce a "real" Indian..interesting..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176109795167713603noreply@blogger.com
