State University Hosts a Cabaret Showcase for All Students but White Ones – Opinion

Are you able to sing, act, and dance? If so — and if you’re the right sort of major — you can take partake in Arizona State University’s cabaret extravaganza.

All students of color are exempted from the chance

Such was the message recently, as the college put together its “The Color of Cabaret” show.

The event was held the last week of January, and its official webpage described the Music Theatre and Opera Student Organization-sponsored offering thusly:

Participate in the Color Cabaret with current ASU students! The annual Color Cabaret, which is entirely student-run, offers BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) students from the School of Music, Dance and Theatre an opportunity to perform shows that reflect their personal experiences. The creative team was formed through friendships, colleagues, and personal connections from across ASU. It is an ensemble of artists of color working in music theatre and opera.

It’s an idea in stark contrast to Martin Luther King’s notion of righteousness and rightfulness — a society in which individuals’ color of skin does not define them.

I believe we have been aiming in the same direction for several decades. Recently, however, the institutions decided that this line of thinking was wrong.

In fact, as we’re told, your skin does indeed determine your identity. And what’s more, some colors just don’t mix. Or, at least, they shouldn’t.

This is our new progressive palette.

ASU is not the only one. Schools and other institutions are teaching the next generation that colorblindness can be accepted, from kindergarten to college.

These are the cases:

We’ve (not) come quite a ways…



In 1963’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail, MLK wrote, “[S]egregation is not only politically, economically and sociologically unsound, it is morally wrong and sinful.”

It appears we’re living in sin — if, of course, you agree with Reverend King.

Though he may not subscribe to the concept of “sin,” Bill Maher’s not a fan of America’s new normal:

Among those who feel differently, surely Arizona’s show was a triumph for young adults who feel oppressed — or perhaps annoyed — by “whiteness.”

Yet, ASU still lacks a little focus. Harvard’s already there:

It is impossible to keep the same things forever; there are many moving parts in our universe. Given our momentum, to quote The Twilight Zone — an area some might assert we’re occupying — “There’s a signpost up ahead.”

It says what?

Whatever word awaits, surely it isn’t “unity.”
