I did wonder who ran/started the Oriental Saloon, when we clearly saw the sign but no trace of "Orientals." Even the drunk Indian was seen in poor light and could have been any race from where I was sitting. I imagine this was purposefully done. I would like to think that it was because they did not want to show an actual Native American drunk and being shamed and kicked out of town, however, we know that Hollywood often has few qualms. Perhaps it was to maintain the lack of focus on anyone other than the whites? --Amanda Russell | I did wonder who ran/started the Oriental Saloon, when we clearly saw the sign but no trace of "Orientals."
