I see your optimism in the power of make believe, but unfortunately we do not live in a world in which anything is possible, and we never have lived in that world. What may have seemed like limitless possibility to one group of people meant that another group of people were being excluded from the stage.
I'm sorry to have to burst your fantasy, but when you bemoan the loss of the opportunity for white people to put on wigs and make-up and play people of color, you are bemoaning the loss of a world in which people of color were erased from the popular culture. That may not be what you intend - you're welcome to wrongfully accuse me of hate mongering, but I will not make any presumptions about your intentions - but that is the reality.
A production of "The King and I" in which the Thai people are played by white folks is a production that has erased Asian people. It is as zero sum as that. |
