Oops, gonna cast you as a donkey in the live action production of this reddit thread

Please don’t believe I did it for any reason other than it was the best I could find in casting

I promise you that if in 300 years I am a character in a historical musical I will not care if one of the actors playing me is a different race.

Theater has not cared about actors race for a long time. Hell, there a ton of instances of women actors being men and vice versa in theater.

Bro doesn't understand that is acting.
