"People who do not speak English as their first language, or barely speak it, speak with a heavy accent and usually use broken and "incorrect" English. Why is it racist to portray this on stage or screen?"
Thank you. I don't think it's racist at all, but apparently, a LOT of people are convinced that it IS racist -- at least when the character speaking with an accent and in broken English was written by a someone not of that ethnicity and, worst of all, by a white man!!! |
