Sacheen Littlefeather's real name was Maria Louise Cruz. "Littlefeather said her father was of Apache and Yaqui ancestry and her mother was of European descent. Shortly after Littlefeather's death, Navajo writer and activist Jacqueline Keeler interviewed Littlefeather's two sisters, who said that their family is not Native American and that Littlefeather fabricated her Native American ancestry. They also said that their father, who was born in Oxnard, California, was of Spanish-Mexican descent and had no tribal ties."

My 4 questions to the Academy regarding their '2 of 4' rules requirement: (1) How shall a casting director determine the authentic sexuality of those auditioning? Must a gay man 'prove' his gayness, on the spot? "Pound this man's ass, or remove yourself, schnell!" (2) How are the children of mixed race couples to be categorized? Does the Academy require two mixed race actors to replace one black actor, and vice versa? And does your answer apply to bi-sexuals and straight peoples? (3) What if my great grandmother is Middle Eastern by way of Israel? What percent Jewish must an actress be before qualifying as a Jewess, heir Eichmann? Or are Jews (a statistical minority in America and perhaps history's most marginalized peoples) categorized as mere whites? For that matter, is The Irishman in or out? Meaning is DeNerio an Irish-Catholic minority, working for Italian immigrants, or are they all white guys? Same again for Goodfellas and The Departed. Seems to me every Scorcese film may be in jeopardy. (4) Lastly, did the governing body who implemented such juvenile and unenforcible rules, meet its own requirements?

@@markferguson5924 I'm not saying the entire book condemns slavery or that every Christian has condemned slavery. Yes, the Bible does set rules for slavery, but one of those rules is that master should treat their slaves justly and fairly (Colossians 4:1). If the history of the world teaches us anything it is that slaves were not treated fairly. Treating slaves harshly was an un-Christian thing to do. So was stealing people from Africa and bringing them to the Americas. It is true that not all Christians were not abolitionists, but just because someone identifies themself with a religion does not mean that they follow ALL of that religion's principles. We can debate this all we want, but I'm just pointing out a verse from the Bible that goes against slavery which Bill says there are none of.

@@peytonthomas4338 Abolitionists had to squint and contort to get their desired reading of scripture in the 19th century, and the Christians on the other side had it a lot easier coming up with quotes. Don't waste my time with Orwellian redefinitions. In a way the fundamentalists are more respectable than the moderates because they don't play this game of 'it's slavery but maybe it's not REAL slavery, it's still 'fair treatment', not harsh at all'. Slavery does not mean slavery (looking at Yorkie Hunt's nonsense), day does not mean day (to not be creationists), stone does not mean stone (to accept gay people), unclean does not mean unclean (to accept women at all times of the month) ... so anything can mean anything and nothing's set in stone, wonderful. It makes moderates better behaved than fundamentalists, but their whole concept of truth (including moral truth) is mush, and now you're talking about enslaving people and still being 'fair' to them.
