ABOUT A DOZEN NATIVE AMERICAN EXTRAS WALK OFF THE SET OF THE ADAM SANDLER MOVIE FILMING IN LAS VEGAS, NEW MEXICO. THE REASON: THEY SAY THE CONTENT AND PROPS USED IN THE FILM ENTITLED “THE RIDICULOUS SIX” WERE OFFENSIVE AND DISRESPECTFUL TO THEIR CULTURE. THEY SAY LANGUAGE IN THE SCRIPT WAS ESPECIALLY OFFENSIVE TO INDIAN WOMEN.
NETFLIX RELEASED A STATEMENT SAYING THE MOVIE IS SUPPOSED TO BE RIDICULOUS … HENCE THE TITLE. BUT NAVAJO NATION PRESIDENT BEN SHELLY SAYS NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE AND TRADITION IS NOT A JOKING MATTER.
