" the race of Nottage's husband is relevant because it might (MIGHT) explain why Nottage is not repulsed by the accounts of racism about Carole Rothman of Second Stage"
I cannot understand the point you are making. Are you saying his race is relevant because people in interracial relationships are more tolerant of racism? Or because people in interracial relationships are blind to racism?
Are black artists calling on Nottage to resign form Second Stage's board? Grissom says there is surprise, but does not actually say there was any direct engagement. Grissom leads the reader to assume many things without actually making a statement. He never says there is anything wrong with interracial marriage but from the first paragraph on keeps referencing the race of Nottage's husband. (Even here people say he did not explicitly write anything judgemental--but did he have to?) He also gives the impression that the actors from the Guthrie were fired from the New York production---but they finished the Minneapolis run. They played their full contract.
I am with the commenter who says they feel like taking a bath after reading Grissom. |
