Um, wasn’t “West Side Story” just an updated “Romeo and Juliet”?

Your identity is determined by your race. That idea would met with total agreement in nazi Germany in the 1930s.

Except that, unlike on the stage, in the movies they don't have to do their own singing.

University of Missouri doesn’t happen to all universities. But universities that act stupidly, have a much higher chance of getting it than others.

I guess they have never heard of any white Latinos in the last couple of years.

Yes, let’s not cast roles on talent. Just make sure it’s race based affirmative action. That’s the ticket.

Empty seats? Eh no problem.

“Students pointed, not to talent, but rather diversity and inclusion as their main focus”

This is Orwell’s 1984.

Colleges in the U.S. should be shut down in order to protect the minds of our young.

Seriously. This kind of thing is just demented and there should be consequences.

This is why we shouldn’t allow Latinos into our universities.

“West Side Story” is just a retelling of “Romeo and Juliet”, so it’s already cultural appropriation.

Same thing happened when a black girl landed the role of Annie when Hollyweird was making a movie. Oh, wait, never mind.
