One of the things I was always curious about concerning The Lone Ranger was why didn't anyone seem to care The Lone Ranger's faithful sidekick was named 'Tonto". That is actually an insult..in Spanish, Tonto means "Idiot, stupid, silly", etc. Yet when Tonto addressed The Lone Ranger as "Kemo sabe" it means "faithful, trusty friend". Also, I never understood why the Lone Ranger wore a mask, yet Tonto was forever being sent into town (sans mask) as a scout. One of the reasons I know about the meaning of Tonto, is because in High School I dated a girl from Barcelona. Her "pet' name for me from time to time was indeed Tonto. When, I found a Spanish-English dictionary....well

Since it has been so long since I was in High School, I thought I should check my facts concerning "Tonto". In Portuguese, Italian and Spanish the name means "fool or dumb". In Spain, when they dubbed the Television show, Tonto became Toro..which means Bull. I guess looking back I wish my girlfriend had nicknamed me "Toro"

Background wise:
"Depp has surmised that he is part Native American, saying in 2011, "I guess I have some Native American [in me] somewhere down the line. My great-grandmother was quite a bit of Native American, she grew up Cherokee or maybe Creek Indian. Makes sense in terms of coming from Kentucky, which is rife with Cherokee and Creek."[10] The family moved frequently during Depp's childhood, and he and his siblings lived in more than 20 different locations, settling in Miramar," I've always liked Depp, he seems kind...which is a rareness in many ways... when he did the last jack sparrow film, his daughter told him to visit a local school dressed as sparrow, because a young girl had written to them asking for a cheeky visit...so he turned up in full costume, with cohorts and spent time with them...
I've asked to be banned
