This is not the East End we know. I was born in this area and know it very well. I love living in this area. I would not live anywhere else. <BR/>“It [the play] creates new stereotypes about Bangladeshis that I have never heard, that we marry our cousins which is complete rubbish. That is the Pakistanis.”<BR/><BR/>http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/theatre-dance/news/nt8217s-head-under-fire-over-8216racist8217-play-claims-1628251.html<BR/><BR/>(BTW, what's your line on tinyurl? I could tinyurl that link for you if you'd rather. Or go to www.independent.co.uk and search for Hussain Ismail.)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308068899467100319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27416700.post-83656965998604558882009-02-25T20:01:00.000+00:002009-02-25T20:01:00.000+00:00Ever heard of 'colour-blind casting', Dreamy? All ...Ever heard of 'colour-blind casting', Dreamy? All the rage in progressive theatre. A black girl plays, say, Juliet.

Not mentioning that all officers shown arresting them are white seems bizarre to say the least." <BR/><BR/>There, it may be said, speaks the authentically humorous voice of anti-racism - well, at least it made me laugh...Selena Dreamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629908887644614404noreply@blogger.com
