....because this really is the last time I'll engage with you directly:
I'm fairly certain that if you were required to use your actual name as a handle on this site, you would not feel comfortable expressing many of the opinions you have expressed (and no doubt will continue to express) in regard to hot-button issues such as the racial makeup of the New York theater critic pool. What I objected to was not your factual statement that all of the major New York theater critics were white, but your conclusion that this means there are certain kinds of theater those critics are unable to appreciate and reward BECAUSE they are white.
I realize that the majority of people on this site don't use their real names, but the majority of people on this site don't post incendiary opinions like that. If you were to use your real name as your TB handle, that would at least show that you have the courage of your convictions. But I can't imagine you walking up to Ben Brantley, Jesse Green, Terry Teachout, Elizabeth Vincentelli at a party, or for that matter you sending them emails with your real name attached, saying: "I don't think you, as a white person, can appreciate all kinds of theater because I think you have a limited cultural perspective." |
