“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.
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.
Why would anybody send their kids to universities?
Is it possible that your audition for the part sucked?
Fox Leftist News pushes the Nasty Vindictive PR non talent is a victim angle .

This is TOTALLY RACISM by the university.
Why didn’t they just re-cast it?
Are the Italians complaining as well?
Diverse or Nuffin
Out damn whitey ...Out!
University cancels West Side Story production after white students landed lead roles
...
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.
White kids in performing arts, nearly all of whom are liberal, are now getting a reality check on what liberalism is becoming — and what it will do to them and their aspirations.
Was’t West Side Story a movie about Spanish kids?
Those dam* white supremacists! Toss them out of school and humiliate them...and their families. Deport them!
If Idris Elba can play James Bond, then surely White people can play Puerto Ricans.
Oh wait, this trans-racial crap only goes one way, right?
That mindset is rampant through our society. Think about that the next time you board a plane or go in for that surgery.
