The problem is the adults in the room will not stand up and teach the kids about what is right. No one in this country, other than Trump, has a backbone anymore.

I could be wrong, but I feel as if the vast majority of Romani/Gypsy women are not black. So I don't see how her claims of this part being written for someone of her skin color are accurate.

We DEMAND diversity!! Wait, a white kid got it? That's cultural appropriation.

quote:

“more inclusive and culturally responsive”

So, in order to be more inclusive and culturally responsive no one gets to play. Makes perfect sense.

quote:

“an outcast racially and culturally.”

Seems like the white chick is the perfect choice given the Ithaca climate.

This is the shite you get when you let progressives take over education in your country.

Sure, taking out the financial center of our country would be just peachy. The fact that some of you actually think this, let alone type it out and hit submit, tells me all that I need to know about some of you.

It's not shocking that you're a Texan though. California and New York are more important to this country than Texas and you fricks can't stand that.

How about you stick to the subject of the post and comment on it instead of being butthurt over someone's comments?

If it makes you feel better, there are people pissed that the actress chosen to play Jasmine in the live-action Aladdin is NRI and not Arab.
