"Let anybody play any role unless it's a white person wanting to play a minority role. What happened to "acting". When anyone could play anything but went to the trouble of putting on make-up or wearing a mask to look the part they are playing? "
It was WHITE actors who could play anything. You did not see many black, hispanic, or asian actors in Oklahoma, 1776, My Fair Lady, etc. in the old days--only white actors could play ethnicities other than their own.
But you are right. Equity really ought to be looking out for protecting opportunities for its white members and let its minority members start their own union. |
