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!

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 Even if you prefer casts that only consist of 100% of your favourite race (a very racist and outdated idea), you can not behave this way to the only white person in a cast.

Didn't you claim to be half Asian or something? What an embarrassment you are.

Are you misappropriating projected embarrassment from the Asian community and claiming it as your own?

Tsk tsk.

Boris the racist! has spoken. Bow down accordingly."

It says it all that you and your team of idiots keep acting like this is some laughing matter.

After this, you can't possibly claim that you're not a troll.

We will continue the discussion after you have read and understood our posts. Your last reactions prove you haven't. Read, learn and evolve. We live in 2025 now. You are welcome in the current reality too.

No one with at least one functioning brain cell wants to live in your “reality”, whatever the f*ck that might be.

You're welcome. Together we can make the world a better place.

MemorableUserName said: "bringing the number of lead roles currently played by Asian men "

But why display more ignorance and bigotry then? We are talking about a 90%+ Asian cast here. That's great. You are only content when the last white person is kicked out too. That's disgusting. You can never demand a cast that only consists of your favorite race. And this is not about "type of roles" because that's just pure vanity. It is about the amount of work opportunities. And yes, the percentages are way off for white people on Broadway. This show is yet another example of that. Have you actually read the discussion? All your arguments have been completely debunked already. We have discussed this subject extensively and also about what traits are desired for leading men roles in different parts of the world. Claiming that poc/asian people do not have enough work opportunities on Broadway in this day and age is absolutely ridiculous. Equality starts where your mindset ends.

This thread is insane.

On ''Maybe Happy Ending's'' website, Darren Criss is still prominently mentioned and pictured on the home page, but there's no bio or upfront acknowledgment of Andrew Barth Feldman's 9-week stint, beginning tomorrow. If the plan were to downplay Criss' absence, they could have promoted their Asian-American understudies.

Then again, Feldman was announced July 24, and the show's producers have yet to address or acknowledge the casting controversy, let alone B.D. Wong's letter of protest, signed by 2,400, or Conrad Ricamora's scholarship fund for male Asian actors, which raised $65,000 (and whose contributors include Helen J Shen & Michael Arden).

Oh, and as for the idea for creating a concert to showcase Asian-American talent, I direct your attention to Broadway Sessions, Ben Cameron's long-running, award-winning musical-theater variety that plays at the Green Room 42 in NYC. This past May, it featured all five standbys from "Maybe Happy Ending": Hannah Kevitt, Claire Kwon, Daniel May, plus Criss' understudies: Stephen Huynh and Christopher James Tamayo. Below. some video coverage from BroadwayWorld.com. There's no lack of talent among Asian-Americans; only a lack of opportunities for them to shine.

You’re so f*cking dense that you don’t even realize that you are the ignorant bigot being talked about in the post you responded to.
