There must be something so empowering and "sexy" about getting offended for the sake of getting offended. It's only a movie, a MAKE BELIEVE story for G-D's sake! And to think when I was a kid I was made fun of for believing pro wrestling was real? SHEESH! Some of my old friends I grew up with are related to the Ramapo Indians (aka Jackson Whites) as well as part Black and to this day we'd still bust out in hysterical laughter at Blazing Saddles, or Amos n Andy for that matter. Even though at times we acted like immature punks, we still had the maturity to understand that it was OK to poke a little fun at ourselves, and we still had a strong mutual respect for each other. Something that lib/prog types, for all their pseudo-intellectualism can never understand.

This is not Blazing Saddles. This is vulgar.

There is a difference.

A quick aside...Did Breitbart.com get rid of their comments section? that website has gone down the toilet since it’s namesake died.

If you ever get the chance check out the monuments at the Little Bighorn Battleground that list the names of the Indians that fought Custer.

Beaver’s Breath and No Bra would fit right in.

My personal favorite name engraved on the wall is “Plenty Lice”.

It's an Adam Sandler movie - not noted for respect and not particularly funny or witty either. For comedy, my choice was Johnny Carson.

As for experiencing stereotyping first hand, I'd say at least it's just a movie. Thanks to revisionist history and current day reporting, that's a daily-nonstop happening for whitey in this day and age.

The headline here is they still consider Adam Sandler movies to constitute “comedy”.

Adam Sandler comedy

Oxymoron.

Never bought into the noble Indian BS....Indians are no more noble than any other breed of human.

Adam Sandler has made about 50 movies in which he plays an overgrown kid. I think it is a formula that works for this particular actor.

I say these folks graduated from the Democrat’s Whiner School™, where everybody learns to manipulate public opinion through made-up offenses. Recent graduating classes include blacktivists, progressive college faculty and students, educators, fags, feminists, muslims, environmentalists, communists and, of course, all media.

"“I talked to a former instructor at Dartmouth and he told me to take this as finally experiencing stereotyping first hand."

So she reached adulthood in this bigoted, racist, white patriarchal society before she finally experienced stereotyping firsthand?

Reminds me of the Italians complaining about Mafia movies.

I believe I've identified the problem.......Academia strike again.

Things came to a head when one of the producers told one of the actors, “If you guys are so sensitive, you should leave.” [emphasis added]

Even the left is getting sick of the left.

What were they expecting? A “sacred” Adam Sandler comedy?

I am about 30% Inuit and MiQ’Maw Indian, married to a Jew, and I still crack up at the picture of Mel Brooks with the Hebrew Characters on his War Bonnet.

And all these new Age idjits with their dream-catchers, when only one tribe (The Ojibwa) actually believed in them.

Ha Ha Ha.

It’s like...My Dear Brothers and Sisters...Get a LIFE! In the old days, Hollywood used Jewish and Italian Actors to play Indians, and who can forget John Wayne as GhenJis Khan! LOL!

Why would anyone want to hire Native Actors, if they walk off the set at the slightest perceived insult.

Hattie McDaniel was asked if she were embarrassed to play “Mammy” in Gone With The Wind.

She replied that she would rather get an Oscar for PLAYING a slave than to BE a slave.

hahaha

Doesn’t sound funny to me and not because it insults Native Americans. Elementary school level bathroom humor has never at the top of my comedy list.
