History of Feminism

A few Native American actors are now speaking out in defense of Adam Sandler's Netflix comedy Ridiculous 6 after a dozen extras walked off the Western's New Mexico set over what they viewed as culturally offensive humor. Of the hundreds of Native American extras hired for the film, only about a dozen left the production because they were offended by characters' names – "Wears No Bra" and "Beaver Breath" – and felt the film perpetuated negative stereotypes.

However, the majority of the Native American extras remained on set, including actor Bonifacio Gurule, who told KOAT 7 in Albuquerque that those who exited the film should "lighten up." "It's a comedy, not a documentary," Gurule said. Another extra named Carma Harvey said many cultures, not just Native Americans', were being skewered in the Western.
