Dancers seek to rid ballet of Asian stereotypes

[@tashikoweinstein435]

I have watched Ballet my entire life and I can tell that it isn't just with the Nutcracker, it is with everything from Firebird to Swanlake to the Nutcracker! If it is not stereotypes then it is definitely with casting roles particularly with the women at least for the Eugene Ballet Company. As for the men they don't remain in the principal role for long compared to the women! The average Asian Male dancer at Eugene Ballet Company last for only 2years at the most some more than others! Asian women are barely cast as principles dancers at Eugene Ballet Company! The other is diversity, for the Eugene Ballet Company they have only hired dancers from Korea both North and South, Japan and Mainland China! I never once in my 31 years of watching Ballet seen someone of Asian Descent born in the U.S in a casting role for the company nor have I seen folks from other Asian countries as well!
