The College Fix reported:

Student actors at Clarion University in Pennsylvania were informed during the final week of their rehearsals for the play “Jesus in India” that the production had been … canceled.

The reason? The actors’ race. Too many were white.

Playwright Lloyd Suh had informed the college via his agent that he was “uncomfortable with any notion that he supported Caucasians portraying Indian characters in his play.”
