Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: Racism in the Rehearsal Room

I don't think it's racist at all. Different groups have different dynamics. Look at a Full Gospel church, a Baptist church, a Methodist Church, a Catholic church, etc. Some are stoic. Some seem crazed. Some are steeped in tradition. Some loose their emotional inhibitions and become one with the spirit. These differences spill over in to how these various groups interact in other setting as well. The same goes for the cast in childrens' theater, adult theater, and professional theater - each have a different way of interacting, and in some of these groups require more wrangling than others (sometimes the adults are as much trouble as the kids - I'm told that sometimes the pros are too).
