Cinderella Too White

[GURPS]

Chanhassen Dinner Theatres drops Cinderella over diversity concerns


Chanhassen Dinner Theatres jettisoned plans to stage "Cinderella" because its cast was too white, the Pioneer Press reports.

The dinner theater announced the news on Monday, citing its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Cinderella's planned cast was "98 percent white," a number the company determined didn't reflect its DEI efforts, Artistic Director Michael Brindisi told the Pioneer Press.

Brindisi considered recasting Cinderella, but finally elected to "scrap this and start fresh with a clean slate," he told the Pioneer Press. The company now plans to stage "Footloose" at some point in 2022.

Chanhassen said it's bolstered its DEI efforts since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. It announced in February the hiring of DEI consultant Kelli Foster Warder, who has worked to assess the company's operations, and the creation of a DEI committee.

Uh, Footloose is about mid western white kids . Its as white as Cinderella .

Gee all they had to do was recast and turn Cinderella half white.
Make it an interracial love story like Harry, and Meghan.
They could have found a Mulatto to play Cinderella, and saved the show.
The fairy Godmother could be played by Oprah or Whoopi Goldberg.
and the pumpkin could be a Caddilac pimp mobile with Chandelier headlights like the escape from New York one
She could have lost her Nike slippers. with the run down heels.

I can see a lot of great reworking of this story.

Wait, why is Cinderella white?

Footloose is ghost lily paper white - picture a black community banning dancing But Cinderella can be any race, so you have to wonder why they didn't go with a colorful cast in the first place. It just shows that these people aren't terribly bright. Scrap Cinderella for lack of diversity and go with.....Footloose. Okay....

I have a memory of that - the daughters probably watched it.

Now they're making a big deal out of black muppets on Sesame Street, when people my age remember Roosevelt Franklin quite well, not to mention all the black and brown and Asian children who were on the show and Susan and Gordon. Stupid buttholes.

I was going to say, "Muppets have colors?!!" But then I remembered Muppets are ALL colors.

Sesame St was always woke. There was a mix of people on there.

And that's the way we grew up - there was no "woke" BS, there was interracial acceptance and nobody cared about things like that.

The innocence of childhood has been overtaken. So, disgusting. The people behind this woke thing know they don’t have a chance with their bs. Iti is obvious when they have to go to the youngins’. That makes me know how serious and corrupt OUR current Gov situation is. God bless Baby Boomers. At least, they know history. God bless the USA.
