BTW

The reaction to the play manager in AnnasLibrary post?  Classic White privilege.  

Dude was defensive and accusesd the teacher of being racist.

Dude took the information as personal criticism–it’s not about you directly.

Dude used the power of the group, his crew, to (falsely) prove he was correct.

Dude had not consulted any East Asians–why bother because he and the crew thought it was okay.  Lack of sensitivity and education.

Dude micragressed the teacher, an Asian American (!) to no end, finally lobbing an insult at her.  (Also the teacher’s fellow staff also micr0gressed her by not acknowledging the issues, choosing to backdown, etc. therefore reenforcing the racist thinking.)

Dude was not able to gauge audience reaction (unrelatability) because he was caught up in his privileged mind of “this is just comedy and not offensive”.
