No, it isn't. If there were such a thing as a fair playing field for people of all races, then artists wouldn't need to do things like create a version of "The Wiz" that allows black theatre artists to perform on Broadway. Our culture has not changed that much since the 70s. I strongly urge you to look at the book "Some of My Best Friends Are Black", a bad title for a remarkable piece of journalism that explores the systematic exclusion of African-Americans from cultural, economic, and civic parity with White America.
