I know we're all armchair geniuses on racism, but I don't hold high school kids to the standard of "always getting it right". High school kids f*** up in plenty of ways, and this is one of them. Part of growing up.

yeah but somebody in charge had to agree to some extent <_<

bullying someone to the point of having a production canceled because of her race objectively makes someone an awful person tbh

Will this be what makes people realize liberals have made racism against white people ok?

It's not just white men anymore, women are getting it too.


this is as dumb as saying conservatives have made nazism ok


It really isn't. There's been an anti white contingent on the left for years which is becoming more and more mainstream and the longer the left accepts it or refuses to push back against it. The worse it gets.


LOL


to be fair you are one of the few people that hates white people, most all of us aren't like that though

Lol nothing baseless about it. You've tried to be more subtle and reserved about it the last year or so but I remember when you used to regularly get modded for making racist posts about white people, and clearly others do too. You aren't fooling anyone.

there has been a rising neo nazi base on the right that has become more bold and open, especially since they view trump as their champion. conservatives at large don't hold these views though, just as liberals don't hate white people at large. extremists exist and don't represent the majority of the side they subscribe to


I don't think I've ever argued any of those things. I would argue that the SJW mentality seems more common among the left than the alt right mentality is among the right though.

You could argue that, as kids, this is just a foolish act that won't continue once they mature and enter the workforce.

But I can't put my faith in that, not when the school staff is willing to (somewhat) submit to such ridiculous demands. The adults involved failed to set a necessary example, and now these kids likely believe their actions justified and acceptable.

We're the adults, we need to lead by example.

This is why SJW are seen as some of the most racist people out there, if they were so determined to keep this authentic why not have a only non whites can audition for certain characters. Obviously this girl got the part cause she auditioned the best out of the other people.

The adults at this school should have not let them shut the play down and forced them to deal with it cause this shit is not acceptable in the real world.

She is the female protagonist in the novel, perhaps second to Quasimodo rom what I recall.

No, I doubt it. CM_Short has said before that there is no such thing as a black racist. I really think he believes that nonsense.

Anyway, I don't know much about that school, but I hope they sort themselves out before it gets worse.

Yeah I don't get this. Correct me if I'm wrong but Romani are basically caucasian, they may be darker skinned, but that's about it.

So wtf. I was legit expecting like "Roots" or something, not Hunchback.

Some white people are unequivocally accepting racial subjugation because they've been brainwashed into believing there's no such thing as racism towards whites.

They've literally been conditioned to distrust their own eyes and their own brains. It's legit scary.


Yeah. The people who think whites are the most oppressed group on the planet and that racism against blacks doesnt exist at all are crazy but the people who deny racism against whites being a thing or even being possible at all are just as crazy.

Esmerelda's backrgound or ethnicity shoulidn't matter for the play. Shit you can be as progressive as you want and have a male play that role if you want to. It's theatre. Expression of the art is the entire point. Granted, it's high school theater and I'm sure there were politics at play because it's friggin' high school. I'm wishing the best like the rest of us and hoping the lead was selected based off of performance. Sounds like the girl crying racism is being a dumb teenager and unfortunately garnered an audience.

The HS made the exact move I would have. Shut it down to avoid a PR disaster/race war in the high school. Now nobody gets to enjoy a play, and all the students get to thank the girl who made a shitstorm about not getting her role. Now she won't be selected for anything else in high school because she's a ticking timebomb.

Oh, I agree. Theatre is all about dressing up and playing something you're not, so really shouldn't matter what race (or even gender tbh) an actor is for a role. But even if it were important, unless they got a french or roma person to play her role... then it seems even more stupid than it already is.
