An important point.

Blacks can 'culturally appropriate' but whites are racists for doing the same.

Black pride - empowering. White pride - odious. BLM - anti racism. All lives matter - white supremacy.
Nigglers calling nigglers nigglers - playful diversity banter and vibrant ebony kultcha. Anyone else calling nigglers nigglers - systemic wacism.

Actress whose face you can't see on a moonless night playing Snow White - genius. Blackface actors playing black faced characters - hideous wacism.

And so the hypocrisy and race baiting dung hill grows and grows.

The Media will have it in the schools for the kids that Europe was originally 'Black' before the 'White Lie'.

During an interview on NPR, the 31-year-old star said he finds it "really sad" that longtime fans of the show have chosen to stop watching in light of his casting and other decisions made to bid for inclusivity.

Ncuti Gatwa says he feels 'sad' for those tuning out of the new season of 'Doctor Who' because of its push for diversity.

The changes are also reflected in the show's streaming options. The newest episodes will air on Disney+ in most parts of the world. (Ah...)

The latest episodes also feature queer characters, representations of disabilities, and a multiracial cast, showrunner Russell T. Davies told the Daily Beast.

On his decision to promote inclusivity on the show, he told the outlet: "You can't be too old to not learn. You've just got to keep your eyes and your mind open to try to make the world better."

It's not making the world a better place.

“We’re not trying to be tokenistic. We’re not trying to be woke,” says Jackson. “What we’re trying to do is say, ‘Look, if people can see that they have role models from their very communities, that have been disfranchised or underserved, that should inspire people to come and be part of the process.’”


(Next breath)

“We’re not trying to dumb it down. Yes, this is about engagement and accessibility, but also not undermining the credibility of people’s work,” he says. “It sings better in German for one, but we also want to challenge people and improve their musicianship.

“Quite a few people have been put off by the fact that it’s Wagner,” he adds, especially as it is often seen as a “country house opera” and “high art”. “Getting people involved in the artistic process has been challenge.”


Rehearsals have been taking place in Smethwick and Handsworth, both areas known for vibrant south Asian and African-Caribbean communities, which he hopes will help introduce it to new audiences – along with the fact that it is black- and Asian-led, or ethnically led, as he describes it.

“What is ethnically led? We’ve never had an opportunity in this country to define what we mean by non-white,” he says. “And actually it’s not getting to the core root of the problem, which is we still don’t have a healthy ecology of a baton-passing between homegrown black and diverse artists.”
