I think LW has the right spirit but she's very confused, to invert the popular quotation.
It makes me sad in my melanin when people interpret refraining from cultural appropriation to mean holding off on sharing culture. I think the drama club would be whitewashing if, for instance, they moved the story to the 100 Years' War in Germany and environs, thus giving people the impression the story is based in Europe. In fact I'm glad they're not doing something like that. And I hope with the columnist they're not going to put the cast in yellowface. THAT would be awful.
I mostly like the advice but I feel like there's something missing. Will see if the discussion brings it out.
