As was pointed out in this piece....the movie is a comedy.....and the native Americans left the set because there was humor involved in how...Adam Sandler.....portrayed native Americans.....
Of course...being born of 2 U.S. citizens I am also a "Native" American...and I find no offense at what they saw on the set....of course I find most Adam Sandler movies offensive in most ways anyway....but I support his right to make them......that should change shortly...the left won't tolerate this...and he supported Guiliani for President....
If You re So Sensitive Leave American Indian Actors Told to Exit Adam Sandler Comedy - Breitbart
This is an Adam Sandler comedy. Everything is mocked. Everyone is made to look foolish. Satire is not disrespect. It is not personal. Wanting an exemption from satire is a call for supremacy, not respect.
Did these actors really think they had earned some special protection from Sandler’s crude satire, which takes no prisoners. There’s nothing racist or stereotyped about any of the complaints listed above. It’s just crude and silly. And my guess is that the cowboy costumes, and whatever the cowboy equivalent is for cowboy “feather placement,” also isn’t that accurate.
Granted, I haven’t read the script but previous Sandler comedies have poked gentle fun at Southerners, Jews, Hawaiians, Arabs… It is always good-natured fun, never mean-spirited. Sandler’s track record here is pretty clear.
