Bend the Truth on Your Job Application

For context, a Hungarian production of the opera Porgy and Bess, which is traditionally performed by an all-black cast, was cast entirely with white performers. In response to the controversy, the producers defended themselves by saying it wouldn't be feasible to find fifteen (the number of singing roles) black actors in Hungary capable of singing operatically, and had the white cast members sign a statement saying how much they admired and identified with black culture.

Well, if it can happen the other way around, I suppose it is only fair this can happen, too.

Maybe do a cultural translation and cast the most numerous minority.

[up]Casting Romani people? Sure, they can sing, but they're also one of the most (if not the most) discriminated and vilified minority across Europe (it doesn't help that there are loads of different subgroups amongst the Romani, which the majority doesn't bother to learn). It's a complicated history.

It would make a good parody movie or series.

Apparently people think that is weird? Like, I get it, it's not the kind of thing you want to think about, but the living need space more than the dead.

Maybe, but you have to realize that there are only so many cemeteries, and these get used for CENTURIES. If we actually had to declare every grave the eternal property of it's occupant and never use that spot again, half of Europe would be an endless graveyard of people no one knows or remembers anymore.

Trump still wants to buy Greenland, and is now insulted at being rebuffed.

That is going to be a VERY interesting comic, I'm sure.

Massive wealth, lies a lot, constantly trying to amass more power, surrounded by women who ultimately do nothing but praise him, became the president of a country, wants to buy an island... I think Trump's trying to audition for the role of a Bond villain. The old style of those, of course.

I agree, the neocolonialism goes very well with his overall Bond villain demeanour.
