| rac·ist /ˈrāsəst/ adjective showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or believing that a particular race is superior to another. Did you leave out the "minority" or "marginalised" bits? And yes, you're probably right that Aaron Tveit might have laughed it off. (If anything, it will increase the perception of what he's worth going forward.) |

| "Did you leave out the "minority" or "marginalised" bits?" No, they were not in the definition of "racist" that I quoted, though they are in the definition of "racism" (as "typical"). I think the distinction is that the latter can have a broader meaning (albeit atypically) but the former cannot. Meanwhile, I really wish we were not all so marginalized from the theatre. :-( |

| As Albert Brooks said in Broadcast News, you buried the lead. Too true, ryhog. The reason we're all on this site is because we love the theatre and we're pissed off that we can't see/do/experience it. We'll be back..... |
