Again, I’m not saying I agree with those, I’m saying I think that could be people’s complaints... similar to the complaint of white saviourism/whitewashing of the American response in Vietnam that you see in Miss Saigon...

I’m not saying that these shows should be rewritten... but if every sincere concern with a show is met with a “that’s silly” argument then really are we listening to the BIPOC voices that we should be right now? Not every opinion needs a devil’s advocate. I’m thinking also of the recent discussion regarding Randy Rainbow’s tweets.
