-And Vito Corleone wasn't american, yet he was played by Marlon Brando and Robert de Niro.

-The three Musketeers were french, yet in most versions they have been played by american or british actors.

-Zorro has also been interpreted in most versions by british or americans, even in Mask of Zorro, the original Zorro was Diego de la Vega, played by british Anthony Hopkins.

-Spaniard historic hero El Cid was played by american Charlton Heston.

-Cleopatra was played by Elizabeth Taylor.

-MOST movies depicting romans or greeks have been played by british or americans (or australians, such as Rusell Crowe in Gladiator, incidentally, his character was a spaniard). Let's not forget either Brad Pitt and Eric Bana as Achilles and Hector, Peter O'Toole as King Priam, Brian Cox as Agammenon, etc.

-The Count of Monte Cristo was also french, in the latest version of the novel he was played by american actor Jim Caviezel.

-How about Victor Hugo's Les Miserables? In the last 2 versions Jean Valjean was played by Liam Neeson and Hugh Jackman, Inspector Javert by Geoffrey Rush and Rusell Crowe, Cosette by Claire Danes and Amanda Seyfried...should I go on?

-Revolutionary mexican hero Emiliano Zapata was played by Marlon Brando in Viva Zapata.

-Johnny Depp plays a mexican in Don Juan de Marco.

-Sean Connery plays a spaniard in Highlander.

-Jeremy Irons, Meryl Streep, Glen Close and Winona Ryder all play chileans in Isabel Allende's House of the Spirits.

-British actor Mark Strong plays arab characters in both Body of Lies and Black Gold.

-Catherine Zeta Jones also plays a mexican in Mask of Zorro.

-Jennifer Connelly plays a chilean in also Isabel Allende's Of Love and Shadows.

-Antonio Banderas plays an arab in both Black Gold and The 13th Warrior.

Anyways, I think I have made my point, actors play different nationalities, that's part of their jobs, the real question is why americans mainly get so picky, scandalized and riled up if a hispanic plays someone who is not a hispanic, yet they don't seem to have many problems on americans playing other nationalities?

Plot hole - Aspect of a film that is misunderstood or missed while using your smart phone.

Yes, making a list of 60 year old movies where white actors played white characters is a great argument as to why a Mayan should play batman.
