They should perform pogy and Bess instead.

Guess they forgot about Natalie Wood.

Whenever I hear Kent State, all I can think of is deaths of the students killed by National Guard.

puerto ricans are caucasian, unless theyre afro puerto ricans or mixed with afro puerto ricans.

Unless we are now stating Iberians are not white, shall we add italians, southern french and greeks to the non-white category as well?

It’s so humorous as I know Greeks in Greece, who are the same color as many medium toned afro americans, except in the summer... when they’re darker.

Bridgett Martinez, a musical theatre major who is of Puerto Rican descent, tried out for her “dream role” of Maria, but she said “it all just got screwed up” when “it was given to a white female,”

Is it possible that your audition for the part sucked?

“Of the three Latinx leading roles, none were given to Latinx students. Several white students were cast in Latinx supporting roles, and some Latinx students who auditioned were not given any role in the show, even though white students were cast in ensemble roles.”

What is Latinx? Is this a new word?

I think so ... I vaguely remember reading about it some time ago here on FR.

Latinx is the generic group identification of what used to be called "Latino" or "Hispanics". Somewhere along the way, females .. Latinas .. took offense to being referred to generically as "Latino" because, to them, that was the masculine form for someone with a Latin-American background. So, now, if referring to females, it's "Latina"; to males, "Latino"; and to the group, generically, it's become "Latinx".

If someone else can explain that better than I can, please do so. I didn't realize how difficult that would be to write out ...

...

Terrible headline by the increasingly terrible Fox.

The roles were landed by non-Hispanics.

The idea that Hispanics and Asians are non-White is liberal propaganda.
