first ppl bitch about the viceroy sounding too asian. now jango looks
too latino ?!?
from the article:
Temuera Morrison, the actor who plays Jango, is a New Zealander of
Maori descent. But that didn't get in the way of some members of an
eight-person Detroit News panel assembled to review the film.
"He looked totally Latino," says Martina Guzman, a Detroiter who's
managing a State House election campaign.

The Jango dispute surfaced in internet chat rooms devoted to Star
Wars days before the movie's release, says panelist Gary Anderson, the
artistic director at Detroit's Plowshares Theatre and longtime Star Wars
student and critic.
If the planet name "Kamino" caught some Latinos' attention, three
Arab-Americans on The News' panel seized on the fact that Jango's son
calls him "Baba."
"I frankly think the bounty hunter is Arab," says college counselor
Imad Nouri of Royal Oak.
"He's basically a terrorist," explains Nouri, "and 'baba' is Arabic
for 'father.' "
