AYRT It’s the accusations of race faking. In a black and white world, he lied to get the part. In reality, it isn’t so simple as that. He’s claimed Cherokee ancestry but isn’t registered with any of the recognized tribes. And to some, including some in those tribes, that means he doesn’t have any Cherokee ancestry. For others, it just means he isn’t registered with one of the three (? I think it was three) tribes recognized by the US government but could still be directly descended from someone who is/was part of one of the (apparently many) other Cherokee tribes that either still exists without recognition or was absorbed into a larger one or simply erased from existence either directly or indirectly (residential schools, resettlement, etc).
I personally think they should have chosen someone else for the role based on the inability to verify his claim. There was never any chance this wasn’t going to be a big deal for this adaptation. OTOH, he nails the character in the trailer and it’s easy to see why they chose him.
