| Gypsy now preferred name Romany...often persecuted ...aka Travellers...I remember when JP II hosted a special mass for Romany at St Peter's in Rome....But Romany are Caucasian., more or less..Since it's high school you could go with Non-traditional casting. but the NON trad would be, Asian, black etc...........Also(forgive for being too lazy to look it up)What does WOKE mean, It's obviously using a grammatically incorrect tense for a particular New meaning. In the Chas Laughton film, Esmeralda was the beautiful and very Caucasian and Very Irish actress Maureen O'Hara. | |

| My understanding of woke is that a person who is woke is aware of the existence of racism, sexism, etc, and how the isms affect people's lives; understands that white men don't run things because they're better or smarter but because they've set up the world that way; and gets it that people who have suffered from bigotry are tired of it! I've linked to a list of definitions that are so wonderfully subjective that they are perfect reminders how much we see the world from different sets of eyes. My own 2 cents, for what it's worth (probably not even 2 cents): it's great that people are fighting for what they want and what they believe in, but it's a very short slippery slope to censorship. It's like when the Whitney hung a painting of Emmet Till painted by a white woman; the people who protested had every right to do so. But when they tried to get the Whitney to take the painting down and even destroy it, they went waaaaaay too far. The Whitney did neither. |

| I agree--protests are as American as cherry pie and, when done without shutting down the other side, can produce important dialogue and the possibility of a better future. But the step into censorship can happen too easily. | |
