I wouldn't love a show simply because it made fun of white folks, I'm not as basic as that. But I'm not surprised you don't want to even consider structural imbalances in our society. It's such a shame that you didn't take the chance to learn something from "Slave Play", rather than stopping at being unsettled.
Meanwhile, we don't know that this performance contained any meaningful dialogue around race, much less was "racist". Summertheater, who has been known to misrepresent these things in the past, has only told us that the performer commented that there were too many white people in the audience. Without more context, such as what (if anything) the performer was advocating for, we don't know what lay behind that comment. |
