In a perfect world, I may disagree with you. But the world I'm most familiar with (the USA) is far from perfect, and it's one I've known to be quite racist. And, yes, people of color have been systematically excluded, not only from key acting roles but from other positions, as well. So I have to admit I was remiss in not giving that point more consideration before publshing this article. In a vacuum, yes, Olivier may perform as Othello. But thanks for reminding me that we don't exist in a vacuum.
