Institutional racism has held back many talented theater artists from having great careers. It means BIPOC stories are not shared they way White stories are in western culture. Cultural appropriation, misrepresentation and ignorance abound. People die both because of the racism and because of misunderstandings around it. I encourage you to become familiar with We See You White American Theater as their document explains this in detail from a USA perspective. <a href="https://www.weseeyouwat.com/" class="">https://www.weseeyouwat.com</a></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class="">Joe - your fault is not in clogging the list; it is in trivializing what is truly a life-or-death situation for many, many folks.
