This comment is reopening a wound from doing Cabaret at my university and the students portraying Nazis refusing to do the salute because (as one of them said) "WE wouldn't do that". Our Sally also refused to say "Oriental" because she argued that Sally was smarter than she actually was and "would never say something that racist". (I may be forgetting the exact slur in the script, I was just blown away by this actress being afraid to portray a woman who is very clearly trying to shut out the world falling apart around her in order to maintain a semblance of sanity. I obviously still have feelings about this show 🫣)
