[DemolitionRed]

There were many cowboy and Indian films that depicted the Indians as the good guys. As a kid, I always wanted to be the Indian because, in my child mind, Indians were good, cowboys were bad.

As for actors, I agree with Smudgie... its acting. We could ask, should Dustin Hoffman of played an autistic man in 'Rain Man'? Should Daniel Day-Lewis of played a man with cerebral palsy in 'My Left Foot'? Should Francois Cluzet of played the part of a quadriplegic in 'The Untouchables'? All of these roles could have been played by someone who authentically has one of these conditions.
