    I admired Brando and his strength to speak up on behalf of other races who were treated unfairly. Hollywoods version was distorted and cruel to all of these non white groups.

    You fail ti understand that he had to take those roles as a actor. But now at this stage he is able to speak truth of the RACISM Hollywood projected and doesn't care saying F.U. Hollywood, as he exposed them. The truth he is say is TRUE.

    Excellent point! He is in fact not Italian. You don’t see us complaining about cultural appropriation. Haha This virtue signaling continues with the celebrity nutbags. They’re hypocritical. I’m a cinematographer. I see it daily. They are sad, phony people. Except Nicholas Cage, Keanu, etc. who don’t play the game.

    As an Italian-American, Godfather is also seen as a derogatory stereotype of Italians as mobsters. It’s certainly not hailed by any Italian-American association now and many at the time protested this picture being made. I guess Brando should unfortunately also put himself in the category of perpetuating harmful stereotypes in Hollywood.

    @@badassmother1426 Nope, sorry. Like any culture the vast majority are not criminals. To know more about the history of derogatory Italian portrayals in entertainment I encourage you to visit the IAMLA museum in downtown Los Angeles. Or if you’re not in the area, please visit them online. You’ll find that derogatory portrayals of Italians began decades before The Godfather. These stereotypes of Italian-Americans as criminals, especially gangsters, unfortunately still continues to be the norm despite the entertainment industry’s purported cultural sensitivity.

    @@SB-SB555 Crime families rule the world. There's nothing anyone can do about it. Being derogatory is part of being human. Humans are predators and prey. The successful predators like being known as for what they do and who they are, the same way a poisonous snake or insect flaunts their bright colors. Cultural sensitivity exists only for weak ignorant brains.

Her parents moved and legally changed their last name to something to lose all association with the family. Funny thing is that she looked JUST like Meadow Soprano!
