HUNCHBACK high school production casting controversy — Page 3

Just another example of pulling the race card whenever you can. The real situation here is a frustrated girl not happy with her ensemble part, wanting the lead.

I wonder if she would apply the same principles if it was a POC playing Maria in the Sound of Music at her highschool. Would she then leave the production too? If not, double agenda and racist mindset.

It's even worse if you want a poc to play a role in a highschool production, even when that person's talents are inferior, you clearly think in race too much.

This idea that people "earn" a role instead of deserve it is terrible. I teach in a mostly white school, and while we have some POC, VERY few audition (or work crew). I had a person last year practically ruin the entire club because she didn't get the lead as she so felt she deserved. (and of course, everyone assured her she was robbed). Made my life a living hell. A talented girl, but not right for the leading role. Still feeling the effects.



Snowflakes. It must be someone else's fault when we are sad/upset/disappointed.

Her mother probably raised her that way, scream "racism" as often as you can to get your way. It seems like the whole character and personality of people like this is built around that, as they seem to have lost all sense of reason, insight and sense of relativation. From an early age that is the thing to hold on to. She wanted a part, and this way of reasoning is all she knows and is a perfect way to emotionally blackmail the director to eliminate the competition and get your way.

The reality is that if it her (and her mother's) point would have been slightly sincere or reasonable, then she would have insisted on leaving the production too if it was about a poc Maria in the sound of music. Would she have done that? No. And I will go even further, Esmeralda was not black, so if you are after historical accuracy in a highschool production you would be against that. This girl and her mother have a very racist, manipulative agenda and this needs to stop.

Seriously, the government needs to treat this as a serious problem and make rules for this, because this constant selective separation of people like this girl and her mother ruin society as it maintains an immense race gap.
