Natalie Linden at The Hairpin had a conversation with her mother that didn’t go in the direction she thought it would, and she has shared it with us all for our amusement.
MOM: “Anyway, I should go. Oh, and I’m going to comment on your internet smut.”
ME: “You mean the sex scene I posted to my blog? Yeah, I heard you didn’t like it. Dad told me. And [my sister]. And [my cousin].”
MOM: “No, honey, I didn’t. You know I’ve read a gazillion romance novels, and yours isn’t working.”
ME: “Mom, I’m not writing a romance novel.”
MOM: “I don’t care, Honey. If it’s going to be a good, exciting novel, you have to play the sex scenes very carefully. You can’t make it too graphic. You can’t say tits.”
ME: “Tits is too graphic?”
MOM: “Yes. It’s a derogatory term invented by a bunch of bald, fat barflies who couldn’t get any women. Or maybe hippies. I read your scene to my friend and she agreed with me. You have to be more careful with the wordage.”

Native Appropriations has a few things to say about Johnny Depp playing Tonto in Lone Ranger (which is now, officially, actually happening, and here is photographic evidence). While Depp can claim some Native American ancestry — Cherokee and Creek — this kind of imagery is still a bit troublesome for some.
