An actress has pulled out of a BBC Proms performance of West Side Story after the broadcaster was accused of ‘whitewashing’ by casting the white star in a Latina role. Mail.
Bizarrely, I could perhaps agree with the stance taken here.
However, being a man who shuns double standards, I must insist that, hereon in, no non-white actor should ever be shoehorned into white roles on any spurious grounds whatsoever: indeed no forcing the issue should even be contemplated.
This would rather mean that, other than Othello, there would be virtually no roles for non-white actors in Shakespeare plays.
Sauce for the goose ... and all that.
You see, the leftist is simply incapable of looking at such questions in a balanced manner.
