A New York high school has canceled a production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” after a student activist group complained about a white student being cast in a lead role.
Members of Ithaca High School’s Students United Ithaca — all five of them — got together and wrote up a letter and list of demands after the role of Esmeralda went to a Caucasian peer.
“It shows you that theater wasn’t made for you,” said Maddi Carroll, a member of the Students United group who is African-American. “And it shows you that, if you can’t get the parts that are written for you, what parts are you going to get?”
Students United’s letter conceded that the student cast as Esmeralda “is a stellar actor, singer, and dancer” and that any production would be “lucky to have her.”
However, it added: “Our concern is not with her, but with the fact that in terms of demographics, she is the wrong choice for this role.”
The group’s demands, listed on its Facebook page, included a cessation of play rehearsals, a stoppage of hiring (production) people who have not “changed their actions” following complaints from “parents of color” and “social justice activists,” and an end to the “racist and openly stated policy of ‘color blind’ casting.”
Shouldn't the school be taking actions against Maddi Carroll and the other racists?

Political Correctness is literally "If we can't enjoy it no one else is allowed to: the ideology"
Joshua Nguyen
Technically she was a gypsy, though. However, I think it's retarded to complain about a white woman getting the role.
Joshua Powell
I thought the only Demographic that needed filling for Esmeralda would be how HOT she is. Anyways why even do a French garbage like hunchback.
Isaac Wood
Q predicted this.
Christopher Price
No, Political Correctness is "nothing that does not follow the ideology is allowed". It's a tool, not a goal on itself.
And it was used to refer to Stalinists policing their fellow socialists.
Leo Miller
Why do I keep seeing this spammed everyday? Who is this faggot?

>Technically she was a gypsy, though. No, she wasn't. The gypsies stole a white French baby and left the deformed baby Quasimodo in her place.
Charles Adams
lol good luck finding a Gypsy that looks like that IRL
Carson Reyes
Get a pretty gypsy then oh wait those don't exist Also But a nigger Joan D'arc is fine right? Fucking america just nuke yourself already.
Isaac Smith
The Disney version is a very toned down thing compared to the book.

>what is Hamilton
Henry Hernandez
This beggars two questions. First of all, would they care if a black actor was cast in a normally white role? Secondly, did any black students actually audition for the role to begin with?
>Esmeralda (born Agnes) is a beautiful 16-year-old Gypsy street dancer who is naturally compassionate and kind. She is the novel's female protagonist.
Since we don't really have Gypsies in the USA, I'd have cast a busty Latina for the role. They look close enough to gypsies.

>Esmeralda (born Agnes) is a beautiful 16-year-old Gypsy street dancer who is naturally compassionate and kind. She is the novel's female protagonist. A popular focus of the citizens' attentions, she experiences their changeable attitudes, being first adored as an entertainer, then hated as a witch, before being lauded again by Quasimodo. She is loved by both Quasimodo and Claude Frollo, but, unfortunately she falls hopelessly in love with Captain Phoebus, a handsome soldier who she believes will rightly protect her but who simply wants to seduce her. She is one of the few characters to show Quasimodo a moment of human kindness, as when she gives him water after the hunchback's flogging. She is eventually revealed to not actually be a gypsy, but to have been kidnapped by them and replaced by the deformed Quasimodo.
Michael Ward
If we're talking the Disney version, the play should be banned for its pro-gypsy, anti-Frollo sentiments
Jeremiah Russell
Actually, apparently she is not a gypsy but everyone assumes she is. I'm wrong, apparently. However, it's implied that she's swarthy since she's mistaken for a gypsy so I'd still cast a bust Latina.
Joshua Gomez
says the Florida of the EU
John Peterson
I didn't realize New York was just filled with unemployed gypsy actors.
Or are they trying to say that all POC are interchangeable?
Zachary Cooper
maybe some mexican from the north of spain?
Owen Clark
I'd be willing to bet the answer would be no to both.
Hunter Rogers
Nah, maybe a Brazilian from the West of Spain.
Gavin Morgan
>"If I can't have it, no one can!" >complains to school authorities >school doesn't want to deal with possible fallout >cancels whole thing Jesus that crab mentality is disgusting. Not only that but to realize racial conflict of a stupid role in a play is still racism. It hurts my brain how leftist are fighting racism but hypocritically conduct reverse racism, which is still racism.
Jason Allen
Only important part is non white
Jose Peterson
Nah, they just say they can't be racist to people who have power.
Dominic Jones
It's just doublethink. Standard issue in the liberal toolkit
Cameron Roberts
I've seen lighter complected Mexican Latinas so one of those would have been perfect, in my opinion.
John Robinson
lol
Parker Bennett
>white people have so much power they can't even be in plays
Levi Cook
I would always welcome busty Latinas. Not specifically in a school play, mind you, but more generally.
I wonder if they are casting white characters as black because black people are watching more tv than white people?
You only ever see white people talk about cord cutting.

How many gypsies are there in America? How many gypsy singer dancers are there in that high school who are jumping at the opportunity to get the part of Esmeralda? I have a feeling not that many.
Anyway, gypsies are basically of Indian origins who've mixed a lot with white people through generations, some are even lighter than me.
So by giving the role to a white girl, they gave it to the closest thing they had to a gypsy.

The gypsies had a hideous monster-baby and sneakily swapped it for the daughter of a French woman when nobody was looking.
Owen Rodriguez
I SWEAR I DID NOT COPY THE 10,000 PEOPLE WHO MADE SAME THAT JOKE HERE ON Sup Forums BEFORE ME
Evan Hall
Some Gypsy couple had a deformed baby, so they stole a French baby and left the cripple behind in her place. Changelings and baby stealing are in a bunch of the really old stories.
Cooper Collins
Finally, we're free of Esmeralda. Now that she's gone, her poison dies with her.

This is what happens when liberals try to pander to tons of groups that hate each other.
For example they pander to feminists, who do not like seeing attractive actresses on screen, but they also pander to black men, who like seeing hot white women on screen, so which group do you then pick and choose?
Lincoln Fisher

Good, the cancelled actress will hate niggers forever now. Plus we'll have an hilarious show with bamboula trying to mimic gypsy dance by shaking her fat ass. Can't wait for the footages.

Why aren't these negro racists not getting expelled? Somebody imagine what would happen to a group of students who demanded a negro student would be removed. How is this allowed? Some SJW basically shutting down school projects? Is nobody having any balls anymore to stand up to these retards? What the fuck has become of schools and universities?
Nathan Scott
but... Esmerelda is literally NOT a gypsy.
Angel Jones
Can you imagine being that white girl cast for Esmeralda. All these negros screaming and crying cause you are white.
This is getting out of hand.

Don’t you know that race is just as malleable as language to a child? She may have been born a white French girl, but when the Romani people borrowed her, Esmeralda’s language and race evolved to fit the new environment. Hence why Quasimodo is white.

A friendly reminder any non-white woman complaining about white men is just a facade: if chris hemsworth walked up her, she would get down and suck his dick non-stop
