When are journalists (among others) going to learn what “begs the question” actually means?

What morons. Putting on “blackface” or “whitewash” is a way to AVOID practicing discrimination. Black singers can sing white roles, and white singers can sing black roles.

Well. If we are being politically correct, a black guy marrying a white chick and the being duped and lied to by a white guy such that he murders his wife in a fit of rage probably should not be shown. Too demeaning of the black guy

Do they really mean “blackface” or do they just mean dark makeup?

He WAS a black guy, I think it’s sort of part of the plot, it’s going to look pretty silly having some blond Latvian playing that part.

But who knows, there’s no pleasing anyone these days.

ES - you may want this for the classical ping list.

Would that we could ask Shakespeare’s “Dark Lady”.
