as I wrote above, my comment had nothing to do with the show itself; it has to do with Lynn Ahrens, a white person, making a statement that 1998's ragtime demonstrated how far we had come in race relations. That is a racist statement. And the fact that she made the statement recently shows how little she knows about race relations in America.

read White Fragility. You're getting upset because I am pushing back against your white privilege. I understand.

Aren’t white people part of ‘race relations’ too?

They are, and by and large they (we) need to be better at it.

I recommend picking up "Me and White Supremacy" and doing the exercises. It's rather like "The Artist's Way" for dismantling racism.

What an inane and hurtful assumption. You don't know anything about me.

The only thing you're right about is that I did misunderstand your original point - that you were referring to Ahrens' statement, not about Ragtime itself. I can apologize for misreading you. Will you apologize in return?
