this thread is exhibit a as to why we ended up stuck with trump as president

again

there are still people on here who think they can argue their way out of a woke issue

the path does not exist and that is on purpose

the point is to burn it all down

if this show hadnt won best musical the controversy could easily have resulted in itspremature closing

Not to mention Hue Park, the Korean man who co-wrote the piece. And Christopher Tamayo, the Fil-Am Oliver understudy, who spoke to the fact that much of the conversation has gone off the rails and could result in several Asian actors out of work (while still acknowledging why people are upset), and was subsequently eviscerated in the comments. I don't at all blame people for being upset, but theonly voices many seem towant to hear are those they ag

What is wrong with you?

I 100% fully believe you were bull****ting about having asian friends (let alone.. friends). No sane person would t

I wish we could have a time machine to simpler times. My biggest fear of Andrew's casting is that it will now give a free pass to any future production of the show not to try very hard to cast Asian

I’ve known Darren personally for 13 years and have always know he was Asian. I never said I didn’t know he was Asian, but I did read a large number of comments when he won the Tony that people were surprised that he’s stra

Sweetie, you just joined today and you have already posted at least 2 dozen times about this issue -- no one forced you to do that. Ironically, it appears that you and Boris are just different sides of the same coin --- the "I'll just keep saying the same thing l

I get on my soapbox a lot, not just for this thread; can’t you see how disliked I am? You, meanwhile, just got here today. But okay, stones and glass houses, have it your way.

What does AAPI history have to do with this? I have a clo

According to the original castingannouncement - Andrew read with her on her audition tapes.

I do wish people would admit he's a great choice for the character if you take race out of the conversation."

Aaron Tveit would be a fantastic choice to play Hamilton.

To be fair to Boris (I know, I know...), while I don't see his posts, I do see the number of likes on some of these other ridiculous posts, so I'm sure there are plenty of people agre

"Where did they manipulate and politicize in order to win Tonys? And where did they exclusively mention Darren Criss in that manipulation? Most people were surprised when he won that he’s Eurasian. It was never mentioned by the production."

 

Who is "most people were surprised"? Were you following this show from the beginning? It's been constantly mentioned in press from the beginning about him and Helen both being AAPI.

Completely disagree. "I understand people are hurt but I'm choosing to support my boyfriend over my community""


The writers have said what they’ve said but people continue to tell them how the world should work.

I bet all the screamers would kill to be in their

I agree. And I think a lot of people on this thread, and around the web, need to heed her call for mutual understanding. Not everyone who is vocally disappointed with this casting (including me) is part of the "woke mob," nor are those on the other side necessarily bigots who lack empathy."

No. If you are on the side of "Get ove

kdogg36 said: "MemorableUserName said: "A decent person wouldn't have accepted it in the first place."

This is easily the dumbest statement I've read on the entire thread.

"One either has grace and class, or doesn't."

You've got that right."

 

Your bias is showing. Are you familiar with Ed Skrein after taking a part for an Asian actor?
