That's what happens when you do something racially insensitive and then have a weakass excuse to try and cover it. Depp claiming to be part one millionth cherokee or something is just stupid. Anything further back than a grandparent is genetically and culturally irrelevant. The guy is white, he needs to make his peace with that.

His next movie needs to be either a genius arthouse flick or a mega-smash blockbuster to erase this turkey on his resume. Frankly, arthouse/indie would be the safer way to go. Too bad all the indie studios closed down.

"but my great great great aunt cousin three times removed on my father's side was one-fifth (insert ethnicity here)!"

lol no, stop.

Isn't this typically American, though?
I've never been to another country in which people are so fucking obsessed with their blood lineage. It's kinda scary to me why people would be so eager to proof how much this or that they are.

[(Anonymous)]

... because back in the [baaaad] old days they were deadly serious about stuff like the "one-drop rule".

[(Anonymous)]

Well there was that one country in Europe back in the 1930s and early 40s. It did not end well. Not well at all.

i think it's like this

unless you're native, you're an immigrant, and unless you're a second or first (usually im not trying to make blanket statements) gen immigrant you usually don't have much of a connection to your home "culture". i've heard it said that america doesn't have a culture (that's probably debatable, but it's not the point of this explanation) so a lot of americans seek information about where they came from/their ancestral "people" i guess altho that's kind of sketch

the problem is that a lot of americans are mutts i guess and they like knowing where every bit of them came from and seeing the culture that their ancestor's had etc.

i think i did a bad job of explaining this but i hope the general point got across!

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, this. I was embarrassed for him that he did this AND fell back on the lame excuse of "well maybe one of my ancestors was Cherokee". He doesn't need the money, which makes it all the more puzzling that he'd agree to star in such a dud of a movie.

Time to lie low and wait for a project that requires real acting instead of ridiculous wigs and silly voices.

He was officially adopted by the Komanche tribe though. If they're cool with him, I don't see why is it anyone else's business.

*Comanche

Second-language, sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

You cannot gain ethnicity by adoption. You can gain family that way, and nationality, but not ethnicity. If I got adopted by Xhosa people then it still wouldn't make me black and not caucasian.

[(Anonymous)]

From what I hear, in America it would and it's a very touchy issue.

[(Anonymous)]

No, but you'd be Xhosa, at least as far as the Xhosa were concerned. They might not care if you took a movie roll. (OTOH, I've heard about Native Americans adopting people into their tribes before, but not the Xhosa, so I don't know how they'd take it.)
