People definitely made fun of Johnny Depp as a native American.

Made fun of, yes, but there was no outrage, calls for boycotts, etc.

I remember both of those, in addition to the ridicule. Just wasn't as loud.

he's like 1/8 or 1/16 native, so despite being far removed from indigenous people and culture white americans have a tendency to see any claim to cultural heritage as valid, so the outrage wasn't as big as normal

Who would do it? The crazy, easily offended, superficial and impulsive Native Americans? There's only one tribe that gets fuming mad and violent about this kind of ridiculous shit...
