I think this is being a bit unfair. If Ahrens really did say what rossde quotes, it is hard to see what is "off and uncalled for." That anyone who could believe in1998, that we had come so far in race relations was clearly out of touch. And that someone in 2020, says that was the perspective of 1998 demonstrates that they do not recognize they were out of touch.
POC did not have the option to be out of touch. I personally like Ahrens as a person and as an artist. The quality of her work on Ragtime is not at issue. But making comments like that demonstrate an obliviousness that is hard to characterize as anything other than white privilege. |
