So it looks like Raymond Burr was not available to fill the white guy role in this movie.

I don't understand why it is 'Unacceptable' for Chuck Conners to play Geronimo while Sophie Okonedo can play Queen Margaret of Anjou (Historically known for two things 1: very pale skin & 2: Being one badass warrior Queen)
(Personally, I live for a time when an actor's performance is judged by the content of the character, rather than the colour of their skin)
