Ridiculous 6: Vanilla Ice Defends Adam Sandler For Alleged Racist Jokes; ‘It’s A Comedy’

Vanilla Ice defends Adam Sandler's Ridiculous 6 after a couple of cast members of the show walked out from the set and refused to accept their assigned roles for alleged racist jokes against the Native American tribe in the script.

According to The Guardian, the rapper-actor who played as Mark Twain aired his opinion in an earlier interview with TMZ saying, "It's a comedy."

"I don't think anybody really had any ill feeling or any intent or anything. This movie isn't Dances With Wolves. It's a comedy. They're not there to showcase anything about anybody - they're just making a funny movie, I think. I don't have anything to do with it. I just play my part," he added.

On Wednesday last week, a group of Native American actors protested the film's depiction of famous characters in the Apache culture Beaver's Breath and No Bra and the depiction of the culture itself.

To show their feelings, a group of Native American actors walked out from the set and refused to perform their roles.

"This is supposed to be a comedy that makes you laugh. A film like this should not make someone feel this way. Nothing has changed. We are still just Hollywood Indians," Allison Young, one of the Native American actors said.

One of the actors, Loren Anthony, who also decided to walk out from the set said that the moviemakers assured the actors that they hired a cultural consultant who will examine the script, Inquisitr said.

 "I was asked a long time ago to do some work on this and I wasn't down for it. Then they told me it was going to be a comedy, but it would not be racist. So I agreed to it but on Monday things started getting weird on the set."

The news source further said that the script uses outdated jokes and stereotypes. In the original script, some of its jokes have the tendency to go beyond gender-sensitive lines.

Netflix defended the movie title and that the comedy series is intended to be a satire of Western movies and stereotypes, Variety said.

"The movie has ridiculous in the title for a reason: because it is ridiculous. It is a broad satire of Western movies and the stereotypes they popularized, featuring a diverse cast that is not only part of - but in on - the joke," a spokesperson for the TV company announced.

Adam Sandler's flick Ridiculous 6 is said to be a spoof of the film The Magnificent Seven with its script started to be written on December 2012.
