We used to have season tickets to the Seattle Opera for maybe 18 years. We stopped as they became more and more "woke." I still receive advertisements for each new performance and month after month I see nothing but minority stars. I have nothing against hiring a minority with a good voice if that is the best person for the role. But I strongly suspect that White singers are being passed up because it is politically correct to hire minorities. I have read that this is true of other opera houses--no Whites need apply.
Calls have to be made that you will not purchase tickets unless a policy to increase White performers is initiated.This goes for any areas of "entertainment". Otherwise,they'll continue to eliminate Whites from being hired without feedback from the ticket buying public.
Any Whites on tv anymore?
