I think the thread title is self-evident and propose a real world example:
I recently had occasion to overhear an event producer on a phone call to book talent: "No, the dancers can't be white. I need them to be black."
This sounds racist. Without further context, I'd agree. Why are you refusing to hire white people?
Some context: This event is taking place in South Africa. Is it still racist? Maybe.
More context: its a corporate event for a european multi-national and the event is for the entire African region. Is it starting to look more like sound pr rather than straight up racism yet? I hope so.
More context: The whole show is 2 dancers and an industrial robot. A troupe of 50 would be a different story.
Your thoughts? Got any good examples to share?
