Complaining about not enough work opportunities for poc on Broadway today is absolutely delusional."

Fool, since you suddenly want to stick to this thread instead of your numerous attempts to derail, how many Asians are on Broadway right now? Go on, count!

But I do agree that this particular topic should have gotten its own thread; it will be difficult in the future for anyone to find the actual show-related discussion in this thread."

It’s never a great sign for a show thread when you find yourself wishing for aggressive moderation and multiple threads about a single production.

A lot. I count an average of at least 5 per show in casts of around 22 people while 1 would be more fitting. So it is much more in Broadway shows than what our percentage in the actual population is. Even much more than that the NYC state population is. So you have absolutely no right to complain about anything. Even with 1 per show there would be nothing to complain about, factually. In the city itself it is a little higher, so that would match the actual current numbers in shows more, but we all know that not only people from NYC city audition for Broadway shows. Quite the contrary. And then there's shows that completely blow these percentages even more out of proportion, such as MHE, which has a 90% Asian cast and not even a 10% white cast. The fact is that there only are a few Broadway shows and the percentages are completely derailed. You can love or hate this fact, but you can not demand the last white person in a neutral role being kicked out of a 90% poc cast. And that's what this is about. I have been discussing the situation of MHE in this thread all the time. It is you who constantly derails. Even if you prefer casts that only consist of 100% of your favourite race (a very racist and outdated idea), you can not behave this way to the only white person in a cast.
