    To mess around, “A Movie Where George Lopez Plays a Māori.”

    Jay Silverheels, a real Mohawk Indian playing a plains Indian, didn’t do too much to help with racial stereotyping.

    “Iron Eyes Cody”—the “Indian” who sheds a tear over man’s befouling of nature (only old timers might remember this TV spot,) was a Sicilian.

    What about a movie where a brit reprises an East Indian role originally played by a Spaniard?

    “Star Trek Into Darkness…Zoe Saldana as Uhura”Saldana is Dominican & Puerto Rican, and pretty much of African descent.Ben Afflict & Mark Woeburg playing latinos is as silly as a Swede playing Charlie Chan. At least Johnny Dep doesn’t have blue eyes. I have about as much Indian ancestry as Depp, but I look more like Johnny Rotten than Johnny Depp.

    Isn’t Zoe Saldana mixed? Her father is Domican and her mother is Puerto Rican. Not all Latinas are white.

    As for John Cho—Korean or not, he was not a good choice.
