My German, Czech, and Norwegian ancestors didn’t speak a damn word of English when they came over in the 1850s either.

I don’t want to be a pedant, but The New Colosus was written by a female American poet as a fundraiser for the construction of the fucking Statue of Liberty. Miller is saying that an American poem older than the statue but written in connection with the statue and helped to make its construction possible is…

I’m sorry if things got heated.

My great-grandfather and great-grandmother didn’t speak English when they came to the U.S. Eighty years later, there are probably well over 100 of their descendants living successful, prosperous lives as American citizens, and none of us would be here without the fact that they were welcomed here.

If we’re going to jump on things that don’t count because they “were added later”, let’s talk about “In God We Trust” and “The Pledge of Allegiance”.

My father came to the USA not knowing any English. He came from nothing and worked hard in a factory so he could raise me and my brother into a decent human beings. I’m a U.S. citizen who has a college degree and ABA approval paralegal certification, I speak three languages, work at a fancy law firm, and read news in…

Wouldn’t a “cosmopolitan bias” be the one that favors rich professionals?

I’m drunk!

That’s why “Hamilton” was such a flop—everyone walked in, took one look at all those black people, and turned right around again. Certainly Broadway is wise to avoid that kind of box office disaster!

The most Tony-nominated musical of the year was Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812. It’s based on War and Peace, by Tolstoy, one of the whitest novels/stories in the history of whiteness and stories and white people stories. Like, everything is literally covered in snow most of the time. Natasha is a…

Minorities have always been ‘around’. There is no age when America was just made of white people.

“A lot of musicals are set in the olden days when minorities were not really around”

Fixed it for you.

Can’t wait until Trump gets rid of all those pesky regulations at the FDA!

Sure, but regulation killed poison makers’ jobs.

My sister is a long-term anorexic (35 years). The disease will probably kill her, but, more sadly, at this point she has just become the disease. There’s almost nothing left of herself — she’s been reduced to food hoarding, calorie counting, exercising, etc. I have no relationship with her. The last time I saw her,…
