From BreitbartNews.com:
‘If You’re So Sensitive, Leave’: American Indian Actors Told to Exit Adam Sandler Comedy
by John Nolte
Offended by satire, incorrect costuming, and inappropriate feather placement, a group of about a dozen American Indian actors walked off the set of an Adam Sandler comedy Wednesday, according to a report in Indian Country. Apparently, the actors were shocked to learn that Indians would not be inoculated from satire in the “Ridiculous Six” Western spoof, and that a comedy film wasn’t terribly interested in historical accuracy.
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]
There you have it. American indian actors upset because feather placement was incorrect and costuming wasn’t accurate.
Apparently they failed to recognize that the production was a comedy.
Note to American indian actors: you can readily be replaced with additional unauthentic feathers as well as unauthentic actors.
Second note to American indian actors: you can take your sensitivity and go home. There is no law requiring you to be paid for a movie or for the film to be technically precise. It’s an Adam Sandler comedy, you anal-retentives. Loosen up.
Third note to the producers who stood on their own two hind legs: thank you kindly for having actual testicles.
And no, I’m not sorry for having written the word testicles.

i know it’s a comedy but Good for the Indians for standing on their principles. We should all be more like them and the world would be a better place.
Of course. There are certain persons and segments of society of which no humor should be directed at all. Excellent and cogent point well made. “All animals are equal; some are more equal than others.”
