Lion King interpreter fired for being white (employment, government, states)

If it’s any consolation, the fired white guy is likely a liberal himself so it’s karma.

I have no idea what your point is, but regardless, you might want to start living in the present rather than 250 years in the past.

I could be wrong, but I think he is referring to the Broadway play, Hamilton.

Which I don't remember, but can imagine, there was a similar sentiment involved initially.

Ah. Now it makes sense. My prior statement shall be withdrawn, with appropriate apologies extended, due to my ignorance concerning the intended point.

(see, leftists, I CAN admit I'm wrong. When I'm wrong.)

So flip the roles.....

Would you think it would be appropriate to fire someone who is black and straight because they "shouldn't be interpreting for a gay, white role"?

It's fine if all white people in this country are replaced. It's the only way to fix things. Who here volunteers to give up their job to cure their white shame?

Please list below what you do and how you will ensure that your job is taken over by a POC.

They should get the South African sign language guy who was at the Obama event and turned out to be saying jibberish in fake sign language.

Not all white people. Just the woke liberal ones that created and support this whole woke nonsense that we’re all subjected to now.

Think about that next time you decided to go to the theater

Do right leaning white people go to the theater? I have never been and don’t want to go.

But left leaning white people love the theater and love these token gestures to show everyone they support equality. As long as their livelihoods aren’t affected, they are very happy to act as sanctimonious as possible.

How is this legal?
