He based his character off of a real tribe - I've forgotton which. He's actually making a 3-D character, with a life and you know, a brain. I'll give you that the original Tonto's depiction was racist - he spoke in pidgin English and was always loyal and faithful to his "friend," the Lone Ranger.
Just think about it. Would Johnny Depp sign up for this particular role if he read the script and Tonto hadn't been updated?

This looks terrible and J. Depp has been on a steady decline to shitsville for some time now with the odd okay role here and there. Maybe this is what happens when you move to France for edgynesses sake and then later become and honorary American Indian.
He won't be a sidekick from what i've read about this movie
and your the dope that went and said "this movie is racist to real
indians."
seen some places saying the way Depp is talking for his Tonto role is racist, I'm no Native American expert but i don't they spoke fluent english back then.
Native American is about 1/7 of his heritage background. I'm of the same opinion that they just wanted a big name - it's a star vehicle for Depp - instead of getting someone who's at least close to being a full blooded Indian.
Just look at the poster - it's called The Lone Ranger, and Depp is credited over Armie Hammer. It's going to be all Tonto all the time; Jack Sparrow in the old west.

His Native American ancestry in unconfirmed and "guesses" he has some in him, like many white Americans like to claim, "I'm 1/64th Cherokee", cos it's edgy.
