| I would say that R&H were as pretty much as thoroughly "woke" as it was possible for anyone to be at that time -- especially Hammerstein. You CANNOT take people out of their time and expect them to have behaved according to modern-day standards of wokeness (some of which are not universally agreed upon anyway). Not when their time and place was America in the first half of the 20th century. |
