Royal Shakespeare Company: Director saddened by racist reaction to cast
(www.bbc.co.uk)https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-60061769.ampA theatre director said she was "saddened but not surprised" by racist reaction to her play's black cast.
The Royal Shakespeare Company's new production of Much Ado About Nothing is set in an Afro-futuristic world.
Artistic director Erica Whyman said the "disgraceful" reaction came from "a minority" of people and discriminatory comments would not be tolerated.
"The idea that Shakespeare's plays belong to one group and not to another is nonsense," she said.
Cultural appropriation only happens to White people. The theater director is also a crypto-kike.
