I think it's because of his cartooniness, but it's a Disney movie ffs. People also think it's racist because his performance reinforces stereotypes (but the role as a whole does this, because some stereotypes aren't necessarily untrue). Again, not what I think, just what people are shouting on the internet. Also since he's a white man playing a non white man (even though Depp has some Powhatan blood in him), some hatred is to be expected.

But he didn't write the script. Or am I missing something? Why is he racist for playing a part? It's a film . It's not real life .

I don't believe people believe this tbh if he's racist there must be another reason.
