Why Is Theatre Casting So White? Laziness, Says British Equity Head

Malcolm Sinclair: “‘The default position if you see a part that has no particular ethnic characteristic, is to presume it is white. Why should you? There are maybe more parts [specifically] for black, asian, south east Asian actors now, but why can’t they be playing all the other parts? … You have to call the people that actually make the decisions to account, which is the producers and directors.”
