I could be wrong but I think the person is a “he”. Of course, it’s so easy to tell with names like that, isn’t it?
When I worked in theater in an inner city years ago, black actors consistently put down the theatrical version of TKAM. It was insulting, racist, condescending - you name it. That it has provided work for actors for 50 years is never admitted. They hated poor Tom Robinson! I suppose they hated the brilliant Brock Peters as well...

What really got my goat was that remark about Wuthering Heights.

Yes, wrote and posted prior to reading the whole article, so I just assumed that the "parent" was a female; men don't usually throw a hissy fit over a book.

The same thing ( re your theatre story ) held true, for what some black radical morons said about old Hollywood movies, in the early '70s.

The latest "WUTHERING HEIGHTS" series, with the Mulatto Heathcliff, who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag...that one? If so, I concur...it was unwatchable! And I've never liked the book nor the Olivier movie to begin with; however, I did give that latest version a look-see and couldn't abide with it at all.
