In this version of An Ideal Husband, Lady Mabel Chiltern, Lord Chiltern's sister, is played by a black actress - curiously enough, Lord Chiltern is played by a white guy - And in another modern production of Lady Windemere's Fan - presumably by the same company - a certain Lord Lorton is also played by a black actor.
And why not. After all, we all know that in Victorian England a good number of British aristocrats were of pure African extraction. I'm being sarcastic of course.
I don't know what white wokes - pardon the redundancy - think they achieve by all this diverse silliness. Their obsession with diversity and political correctness has reached a degree of stupidity that is excessive even by woke standards.
Personally, I think it's condescending and self-congratulating. A sick form of reverse colonialism, if you will. Imagine if a white actor were cast to play a famous black person. Say Shaka Zulu, or Mandela. The caterwauling from the woke contingency would be louder than the Final Trumpet. And mind you, they would be right, for once.
Oh, well. I suppose if God allows people like wokes exist in this world it means they are necessary, too. If only for comic relief.
