Secrets and Anger?
I completely agree with his decision because if I was a minority at the time and a play about Asian-Americans OR something in Asian culture was produced I'd feel humiliated if a white person was casted. Art is about casting and showing the world what they do not see. I think that Mura's white friends wanted to convince Mura that the directors were doing the right things when casting (supporting white friends) instead of admitting that the director was wrong and did it on purpose to color-blind people. In Mura's situation I would have not let the issue go so easily and told them how I felt as soon as I felt it. If these two white people were really friends and artist as they claimed to be they would automatically understand and see what I would be trying to say. If I was Asian-American and I was turned down a role in a play to someone who was white, when the play was about Asian culture it would be completely humiliating to not only me but my culture as well.
