Do you suppose Trumpo will start calling him Native American names?

Probably not, but he'll be accused of it.

Why would he? Burt never used his heritage as a crutch. He never lied about it, as far as I know.

What triggered you on this?

There is no trigger. No matter what the subject of the thread, one or more of the trump haters will feel the need to get in some derogatory swipe at trump. I don't understand it, but they seem to get some kind of thrill out of it.

And you will feel the need to come to his defense, no matter how indefensible his actions, while at the same time proclaiming that you're not a Trump supporter. I don't understand it, but you seem to get some kind of thrill out of it.

BiT:

Re trigger, not the horse:

BBC conversation about Reynolds had one conversant saying that Reynolds' early bit roles included Native Americans. Other conversant, the film authority I believe, said "well, he *was* 1/4 Cherokee".

One of his more entertaining early movies was 100 Rifles, in which he played third fiddle to the rather steamy on-screen action between Jim Brown and Raquel Welch. Reynolds' character in that one was an Indian (technically, half-Indian).

Reynolds *did* lie about where he was born, according to Wikipedia. Apparently Lansing wasn't very charismatic. And he wasn't there that long.

It's relevant because, back then, Indian, Asian, Italian, etc. roles were often stereotypes, but presumably if you belong to the ethnic group you'll try to be more accurate.

Lansing?

Five years earlier, John Ford's last movie was Cheyenne Autumn, a rather progressive for its time look at the plight of the American Indians (in this case, being relocated to rather squalid conditions hundreds of miles from their homes) that many felt was a form of apology by Ford for his treatment of Indians in earlier films. However, he cast such "authentically" Indian actors as Sal Mineo, Ricardo Montalban, Dolores del Rio, and Gilbert Roland in the lead Indian roles.

Lansing Michigan. Says Wiki. His father was in the army there.

I don't give a shit whether you or anyone else thinks I'm a trump supporter or not. Again, since you don't read my posts, IS IT A FUCKING CRIME OR SOMETHING? What I am NOT is a trump hater, which apparently requires you to mindlessly oppose anything that can be traced back to him, interject stupid comments and insults ranging from the supposedly humorous to disgustingly hateful, into any subject to malign him and consider anyone with an open mind as a 'trump supporter', whatever that means.

trump supporters most certainly do not have open minds.

Once again, I am proved right. For someone who claims "I don't give a shit whether you or anyone else thinks I'm a Trump supporter or not," you sure get upset when anyone mentions you and Trump supporters in the same post.
