Chaz, I don't want this to become either overly personal nor overly political. Your initial point was that Des McAnuff should not have been hired to helm this show because he's white and that a "black (unspecified) director should have been given a chance." And you state in a recent post that "I'm not quite sure where your politics lean... but I think it's pretty safe to say the vast majority of the theater and broadway community is left, to say the least, and the left side of the country, especially the entertainment portion of it, I think would definitely agree with me."
While it should be clear to you that my politics lean left, which in fact is an understatement, to say that the left side of the country, and especially the entertainment portion of it agrees with you seems to ignore the responses in this thread, as none that I've seen actually agree with you at all.
Statements such as this person SHOULD have been hired for a particular job "just because" they are a POC or a woman or gay hurt the cause of the left and feed into every negative stereotype of what being "liberal" or "progressive" means. |
