my best friend (who's asian) auditioned for the interlochen arts camp for the high school musical theatre production. she's an amazing singer (she's done the trinity and abrsm singing exams in grade 8 and got distinction! she's crazy)... has won countless numbers of prizes, can play piano, is a superb actress (won regional drama awards), can dance jazz, tap and ballet..... and yet she was still rejected.
is this because they have a thing against asians?! i also heard that for their production they're doing anything goes... i know they would generally not have asians in that musical but i find this to be a bit too harsh? why won't they integrate color-blind casting? ugh this makes me mad.
also, since they rejected her, she asked whether she could also audition for the workshop cause she understood the whole casting the asian stuff.... and so they allowed her. she was rejected for the workshop too.... HUH?! WHY? i'm not just saying that she's amazing cause she's my best friend, but i've known her since childhood and we've been in musicals together and i've seen her grow so much as a performer
i was just wondering what you all think of this?

(btw, she does not look asian asian. she has huge eyes lol and just looks like a brunette with a tan so no racist comments please!)
