Funny enough at every rock concert or festival I’ve been to the white guy black girl combo is the highest interracial relationship of them all by far. But that requires some posters here to not be chronically online and get outside the backwoods

How is that even remotely relevant?

Pretty sure it’s being done for shock value & ESG bonus points . Like so much else that’s being done for current day reasons.

You're right but it wasn't a tired trope back then

It is statistically the least common interracial coupling with white male, Asian female being (by far) the most common.

You stated that a white Romeo and a black Juliet is some sort of fantasy. I merely pointed out that this combination exists in real life. Why can't a Shakespeare play use this dynamic? In what way do you think it's a fantasy?

Why is a WM/BW couple shocking to you? What sort of ESG bonus does this award?

C'mon, you're trolling.

Who said it was? It's calling them Romeo and Julliet that's what is so ridiculous. Like 'black' Robyn Hood gang, or 'black' Ariel, etc...
No issue with a tragic romance between 'WM/BW', or hell, 'WM/BM', for that matter, but don't freaking call them Romeo and Julliet.
* And remember, these are the same types of people who gave us the nonsensical idea of 'appropriation', and freak out when they see anyone but a black person in dreads, or a white person making a taco. FFS, they can't have it both ways.

I'm not. I asked you why you view a WM/BW pairing as some sort of fantasy.

Uh, you did, a few posts ago. You said this casting was done for shock value and an ESG bonus. Again, why is it shocking and what bonus does it provide?

So why can't Romeo and Juliet be an interracial couple? It's not like Shakespeare plays haven't been cast with every kind of race under the sun already. Why do you view white Romeo and black Juliet as ridiculous?
Posted on 3/31/24 at 9:35 am to joshnorris14
Hence why I said funny enough regardless people like Kaiju would probably have a stroke

You just made the shite up didn’t you? Only people actually freak out about that are the fringe morons

Yes, I did say this. Because that’s why it was done this way. How are you not getting this?

Because they weren’t written that way.

Juliet would have definitely been played by a dude originally and I’m sure nobody threw a fit then. You getting triggered over a random play in Europe due to race is hilarious but also on point for you

I’ve asked you twice now why it’s shocking to you. I’m not interested in you repeating yourself about what your conjecture is for why they did it. Tell us, in your own words, why you think an interracial Romeo and Juliet is shocking. You also haven’t told us what ESG benefit it brings.

And? Must everything conform to the original source material? You live in a fantasy world.

To be fair, he's yet to link a 9 hr youtube vid of some other retard that told him what to think, so some progress.

Did Shakespeare write or describe Juliet as a male? Of course not. Your arguments are laughable & absurd.
And yes, my comments are on point for me because of my position of sticking to the source material above all else. If anyone wants to do a different take on the theme as has been done countless times, that’s not a problem.
West Side Story is effectively the same tale but told in a more modern setting.
Unfortunately, for you, we have about 10 years of this garbage and gaslighting by the entertainment world, where they do something ridiculously uninspiring, and then accuse the fans of being something they aren’t.

Portland Burrito Cart Closes After Owners Are Accused Of Cultural Appropriation
Are Dreadlocks Cultural Appropriation?
Yes, dreadlocks are often seen as cultural appropriation when worn by Caucasian people due to their deep connection to African culture.
You think I just dream this stuff out of the ether?

Mostly because no one cares anymore, after having seen it like a zillion times already.

I never claimed it was shocking to me. Good grief. I'm simply giving you the reasons why those who put on the play are doing it. Like how we got Hamilton. It was MEANT to be shocking. This is a self evident thing and too stupid even to discuss.
quote:

By elevating the perceived white dominance and replacing it with people of color. That's ESG folks talking, not me.
Get it through your skull already.

Try using the word 'respect' instead of conform. Jesus, how are you not getting any of this?
