As long as it puts down white people?
If I wrote that rap concerts only appeal to "young black people" and something needs to be done, that would be RACIST.
So would this one: "There are too many Latinos in the Bronx. How about we subsidize white families and bring them in, with free food stamps?"
But reverse racism is just fine:
Christ, last thing you want is an audience of well-behaved OLD WHITE PEOPLE.
The staff that allowed this story to be printed is either affirmative-action COLORED, or contains a few self-hating hypocritical white idiots who feel guilty. Not so guilty they'll relinquish THEIR jobs, but guilty enough to put in a racist headline suggesting there's something wrong with an art form that only attracts white audiences.
How do you make sure white audiences don't have a place to go? Ah. Let's hire, on the basis of color and not ability, a black dancer. And so she won't be lonely, why not chuck most of the white dancers and have dancers "of color?"
Because it won't put GREEN into the box office????
We all know that blacks aren't big fans of ballet. NOBODY is a big fan of ballet. When the old whites die off, they won't be replaced by BLACKS.
Classical music venues, opera venues and ballet venues are all suffering because OLD WHITE PEOPLE are dying off, and the remaining white ones who might go to these arcane art forms aren't as affluent as they used to be. So they stay home.
Hitler used to say that ethnic cleansing and promoting one race over another is a GOOD idea. So does the American Ballet, who will promote a black ballerina as the best alternative to the decline of "old white people" in their audience. Well, fuck "old white people" in general. That's been a tradition. CBS kicked Red Skelton and Jack Benny and "Gunsmoke" off the air for appealing to "old white people."
Forget the American notion of allowing ALL people to be represented, and that GOOD ART, of ANY KIND, should be promoted whether it sells or not. That's how Public Broadcasting became popular...an alternative to the major networks pandering to the lowest common denominator...which today is shitty reality shows aimed at blacks and Latinos and rednecks.
Affluent black people take their "culture" with them, IF I'M BEING HONEST. They won't go to the ballet just because a nigga is dancing around in a tutu. It ain't a Desmond tutu. Blacks would rather go see a jungle show like "Lion King." They'd rather to go a museum that has an exhibit of African art. The older affluent blacks like jazz, jazz and more jazz. They'd be running a revival of "Porgy and Bess" on Broadway except the music was written by a white Jew named Gershwin.
PS, there aren't many classical ballets written by Blacks. Blacks are not going to see "Swan Lake," yo.
Awwww. And you know what's the biggest tragedy? The Ballet company can't hire a MUSLIM, because Muslims would insist that the ballerinas dance in burkas.
