"How Sleeping Beauty got woke: Meet ballet's first male ballerina"

Or is he stealing a woman’s job!

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I couldn’t care less. Get a transsexual one-armed Pygmy to dance in Sleeping Beauty for all I care.

Absolutely.

Female Starbuck... brilliant!

a clear cut case of cultural appropriation.

what if this same man put on blackface and played the role of an African American?

The politically correct are neither very bright nor correct. Dullards

You know, perhaps it isn’t racism, but the fact that the producer and director want to make money with the movie and therefore cast famous people in them to sell the product in their largest market.

I have made my views on blackfacing very clear in the past.

I have no problem with it.
I have no problems with white facing, black facing, yellow facing, rainbow facing or people dressing up as unicorns.

Although that ‘My Little Pony” cult is somewhat worrying.

I do, however, understand that some people find it racist.
And I find those people rather whiney.

But, on the other hand, there’s so many of those snowflake white men squealing about cancel culture and every other sort of neo-nazi trope, that I can understand getting whiney about it.
