First of all, no it is not. Second, when a white person calls a black man "boy" it conjures up centuries of oppression. When a black person calls a white man "boy" it mocks that racism, something very in keeping with the effort (to which you seem oblivious) to rectify a hideous history.
On the merits, LOJ is entitled to negotiate for whatever he wants and the producer is entitled to accept or reject his proposal. Just as with a sports figure who is a free agent. The Tony winner can price himself just as Hamilton on Broadway can price its premium tickets. He has something they want and that may well be viewed by some as the sine qua non of the show. |
