It's a musical. Shouldn't the person with the best voice get the role? You think race should come before talent? Is that what you are saying??

See what's happening here is this dude is a troll and we shouldn't feed it.

Yep. In every thread he posts in.

I just say "Nice Troll", but otherwise don't engage.

Give the little Whiner the Hunchback role !

If a few white people have to lose jobs or roles in the name of diversity than yes absolutely. White people don’t like sharing so it’s up to us to take their ball away and give it to people of color.

Cheat much ?

There's a tight race at the top. A couple have fallen due to not posting or cutting back. One of which does my heart good cause he's a good dude.

It's still tough at the top. I think 3rd place is spoken for.

Quote:An upstate New York high school has pulled its upcoming musical production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” after students protested the casting of a white classmate for the lead role of Esmeralda.

Ithaca High School faced backlash by some students who banded together in protest following the exit of another member of the spring play due to the casting of Esmeralda – a fictional character that portrays a 15th century Romani gypsy in Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel.

“It shows you that theater wasn’t made for you,” Maddi Carroll, 17, an African-American senior who quit the production, told the Ithaca Journal. “And it shows you that if you can’t get the parts that are written for you, what parts are you going to get?”

The move prompted student activists who make up the group Students United Ithaca to pressure the school for a more diverse cast.

“Because of institutionalized racism this results in white children being cast in roles written as white parts and also white children being cast in roles that were specifically intended for people of color,” the group posted to Facebook in a list of 10 “demands” for the Ithaca City School District.

“Make no mistake, the world is not colorblind. Casting cannot be colorblind. Enough is Enough.”

Another demand read: “STOP ignoring and denying that you have created a white centered program run by white adults for the benefit of white children.”

Students also wrote a protest letter posted on Tompkins Weekly on Jan. 8 saying: “Unfortunately, it has also come to our attention that the casting of this musical is antithetical to the very message which beats throughout the heart of the musical itself.”

The letter continued: “We speak, specifically, of the casting choice of the role of Esmerelda. Before we speak further, we want to stress that the talented young woman who was cast in this role is a stellar actor, singer, and dancer. She has worked hard to hone her craft and the IHS stage, or any stage, would be lucky to have her. Our concern is not with her, but with the fact that in terms of demographics, she is the wrong choice for this role.”

Following the complaints, the school announced its cancellation of the production late last month.

“The active community engagement and conversation about the selection of the Hunchback of Notre Dame for the Ithaca High School musical has led to many conversations in our school district,” the Ithaca School District posted on its website.

“This dialogue has affirmed our observations and wishes to have a more inclusive and culturally responsive learning community. In short, our efforts to eliminate institutional biases are ongoing.”

In announcing that the play would not go forward, the school district said: “In lieu of the planned musical, another collaborative project will provide young people and our community the opportunity to engage together while fully expressing the talents of our students.”

“A new project is currently being discussed by students, families and educators. This project will also engage the talents and skills of students previously cast,” the district said.

So a high school has to hope they have a female Romani student who wants to act before they can put on Hunchback of Notre Dame? Do they have to have an actual hunchback as well?

The Black girl is mad she didn't get the part so they blow the whole thing up.

No different than whichever black athlete it was in the Olympics, I think, who raised a stink about a coin toss not favoring him.

I love how white people created basically everything yet black people feel entitled to everything.

White people created pretty much every single sport.

Despite that they only make up 27.4% of the NFL (and a lot that is kickers or punters). They make up only 18.3% of the NBA.

White people created cinema (TV) yet you're starting to see less and less white people in shows and movies.

Nobody is stopping black people from creating a ****** Madea movie with an almost all black cast either.

What the hell have black people even created / invented?

White people... they make everything. Black people... they take everything white people made yet still complain nonstop.

Are you serious? This can’t be serious. African-Americans are responsible for everything we have in this country. They invented our music, they invented our culture as we know it. White people have done nothing but steal and copy for centuries. White people have contributed nothing but hate to this world. I apologize every day to whoever will listen for my whiteness. I will never have children with a white woman simply so i won’t bring anymore white people into this world. Get your facts straight before you spew your hate speech.

Esmeralda's mother was French. The gypsies kidnapped her.

Does anyone actually read the book?
