To be fair aren't a lot of Mexicans actually native?
The link isn't about the actor, it's about the "Native American" consultant they hired to help with his character development that turned out to be a complete fraud.
You are correct. My Hispanic mother in law is about 60% native and there are some areas where she is from that the majority of the population is native. That being said, Beltran does not appear to be even remotely native.
Robert Beltran is partially native but the OP and the article aren't about him.
Fuck Jackie Marks and the appropriating grift he rode in on.
A similar thing happened (on a smaller scale) with the band Nightwish. Their song, Creek Mary's Blood, has a spoken word poem in Lakota. Except the man who speaks the poem in the song, and who translated it into Lakota, John Two-Hawks, is not registered with the Lakota as a member of the tribe. He's of mixed ancestry, but that's not necessarily a dealbreaker for the various tribes...
The poem, while containing actual words from the Lakota language, is apparently almost completely gibberish.
Don’t forget Robert Beltran is a scab too!
Wait, is he? Why?
I looked it up.
He went to a non-official startrek convention recently, during all these strikes. All the other star trek actors weren't allowed to/avoided talking about star trek directly because it is owned by a company they are striking against (with the exception of the animated shows I guess?). He apparently talked freely about startrek without any concern as though he doesn't care about the strike.
I was wondering too, because I was wondering how a well known actor "scabs" exactly, but this makes sense, he is still promoting the show, disregarding the strike rules and working class actors.
Is that what screwed over Chakotay, or was it just that they never really gave him a lot to do so the actor got bored and began phoning it in?
