This was so amazing. I have no knowledge about the ballet but it was so informative and inspiring.

Listening to these lovely ladies recount their awful experiences from years ago, and even now, it is so shameful that this could have happened. If only people would just grow up, and get over themselves!! Live and let live, and stop the stupidity of judging a person by the colour of their skin, pale or dark. These ladies all have more talent in their little fingers than most of these critics have in their whole bodies!

I applaud all of these amazing women but I do see a similarity between them, they all thin Mixed Race women as close to the eurocentric ideal of beauty as possible and their mixed race privilege allowed them to oblivious to racism and what Black women deal with in reality. Ballet has a rmisogynoir problem and a colourism issue etc
