| We're on the same side with respect to giving POC opportunities to succeed not only in the theater but in every walk of life. I believe in the benefits of affirmative action (even after seeing Admission. :)) But I don't think I'm reading the political climate wrong at all. There is a very large percentage of the population (and it might be a majority but I have no data to support that) that is offended by the suggestion that a person of color be hired to do a certain job "merely" because of their color, which you seem to be saying, and Trump did, is and will take advantage of that sentiment. It's the "anti political correctness" or anti "identity politics" feeling that many have, not all of them racists. What I'm saying is that if the choice was between hiring a white director and a black director for this show, I'd lean in favor of the black director, even if significantly less experienced, provided it was felt that he or she was capable. (By the way, maybe the black director should have been hired much earlier in this project's development?) | |
