‘If you're so sensitive, leave': Am. Indian actors told to exit Adam Sandler com

To go with the Black Widow ho thread...
‘IF YOU’RE SO SENSITIVE, LEAVE': AMERICAN INDIAN ACTORS TOLD TO EXIT ADAM SANDLER COMEDY
‘IF YOU’RE SO SENSITIVE, LEAVE': AMERICAN INDIAN ACTORS TOLD TO EXIT ADAM SANDLER COMEDY
quote:
Approximately a dozen Native actors and actresses, as well as the Native cultural advisor, left the set of Adam Sandler’s newest film production, The Ridiculous Six, on Wednesday. The actors, who were primarily from the Navajo nation, left the set after the satirical western’s script repeatedly insulted native women and elders and grossly misrepresented Apache culture.
The examples of disrespect included Native women’s names such as Beaver’s Breath and No Bra, an actress portraying an Apache woman squatting and urinating while smoking a peace pipe, and feathers inappropriately positioned on a teepee.
“When I began doing this film, I had an uneasy feeling inside of me and I felt so conflicted,” she said. “I talked to a former instructor at Dartmouth and he told me to take this as finally experiencing stereotyping first hand. We talked to the producers about our concerns. They just told us, ‘If you guys are so sensitive, you should leave.‘ I was just standing there and got emotional and teary-eyed. I didn’t want to cry but the feeling just came over me.”

Satire is going to be a lost art in 20 years.
Hurting people's feeling might be a capital offense by then.

I doubt satire will go away completely but I think it will start to be less and less

I will now buy a ticket to support the producers for standing up to the PC bullshite. I won't actually sit through the movie because Adam Sandler has not made a funny movie since Happy Gilmore. But I will buy the ticket nonetheless.

We're a nation of pussies now days.
Old school Natives would have told these Natives to shut the frick up.

Sounds like the producers were really insensitive and unprofessional. The diplomatic response would have been to offer more fire water and wampum.

I'm really conflicted here.
On one hand I'm glad people are standing up to PC and SJW types and I feel that should be supported.
On the other hand I hate every single movie that Happy Madison has produced since Anger Management, and I feel they should be stopped.

If I had known that you could protest these things based on personal ethnicity, I would've put a stop to The Waterboy.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TALK LIKE THIS?
Posted on 4/23/15 at 5:03 pm to Fewer Kilometers
I'm going to make a movie about Jews.
Give them nicknames like "quick start", "ash pile" etc. Send Adam a script and see if he wants to make a cameo.

Hmmmm....... We may have some indication of where the problem originated.

I'm still pissed about The Waterboy and its stereotypes about our people
