This is coming up in WSS productions all over the country. Saw a kid get blasted on Facebook because she was cast in a minor Puerto Rican role in a small production.

People wear their offense like a badge of honor.

Life will be rough for Ms. Martinez. You can't cancel shite post college unless its dr. appts or reservations.
