Apparently white LIBERAL students like to mock Negros. Who knew!
Students, college clash over civil-rights parody
By Lornet Turnbull
Students are asking Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts to respond to a parody that was perceived instead as a mockery of icons of the civil-rights era. Front row, from left to right: Joel Nicholas and Melissa Henry; back row: Annika Keller, Cassandra Pittman, Jessica Hatlo, Tinu Oyelowo and Kemeya Harper.
In two weeks, Tinu Oyelowo will graduate with a degree in theater from Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts, leaving behind what she believes is unfinished work.
She and other students on the tiny campus are at odds with school administrators over a March 31 clown-class production they say went terribly wrong. Meant to parody white ignorance of the civil-rights movement, the performance by three white students resorted to painful stereotypes and mocked the era’s icons.
