I 100% agree! I’m currently in a difficult situation as my school is performing this musical, and as a member of the cast I am being expected to condone and take part in racism. For obvious reasons, I am incredibly uncomfortable with this, especially as my school is predominantly white, myself and the staff directing included, but according to my director ‘it’s the same as a British person getting offended by a bad British accent’ and ‘if people are offended they are too sensitive’. Unfortunately, my director, a white male, believes my hesitance to be racist makes me immature, and that hate is part of comedy and musical theatre. All I can do is hope that my refusal to condone racism by appearing on stage for the last scene after he has refuses to allow me to be removed from it won’t sabotage my chances in future school musicals. Thanks for listening to my rant.
