Ummmmm.....yeah. About that. I wasn't referring to you. My comment was in response to the person who spoke the part that I quoted.

Learn to read a message board indeed.

Ya know what's funny?

You SHOULD be able to do a casting call for all whites. And, for all blacks. And, for all figs. And, for all midgets.

If only Americans still valued freedom.

The only place in Cali I want to go is San Diego. But I can't lie, in some places the nature in CA is awesome. Oregon too

That's fricking retarded. Hamilton is specifically made up of a minority cast, which is one of the things that makes it so brilliant.


That is not fricking "brilliant". That is idiotic when the people they are playing weren't white.

No wonder it is such a pop culture hit. It is left wing bullshite.

Yes, you PC tards need to lighten up, I've been saying this for 20 yrs. You're finally starting to wise up.

So a play about the life of MLK, Jr requiring an all white cast, would be phenomenal as well, amirite?

How does this, in any way, make something brilliant?

If I recreate the last supper, but use only Japanese, is that brilliant?

The daughter of one of my childhood friends is a dancer in New York. She tried to audition for that show and was turned away because she was white.

Isn't there an exemption for performers. That's why Hooters and Casinos can fire waitresses that get too fight or too old.

This is one time that I can see gender and race playing a role in hiring.

First off, if I was casing the play Romeo and Juliet, wouldn't it be natural for me to look for a man and woman for each part? (For goodness sakes spare me the tranny arguments, you known damn well what I mean. Romeo will be played by a male actor and Juliet by a female actress unless we are doing some super duper experimental version will all men or all women or something).

Same thing with casting.

What is your favorite TV show featuring a married couple?

If they wanted to cast a son or daughter for the role of long lost son and daughter, wouldn't they case race accordingly?

I mean, Blackish is never gonna have white kids in the family.

Irrelevant. The law is on the books and you Democrats created it. You have to abide by the same laws that you want everyone else to at the point of a gun.

So, what about all the cry babies in Hollywood that argue otherwise? You know, the whole black Annie, black and or gay James Bond crowd who just can't stand to see another white casted.

Tell you fairies to shut the frick up first, and people wouldn't be so quick to call out the hypocrisy.
