[quote=Anonymous]I’m Mormon. My favorite thing about the musical was that there was an advertisement for the Mormon church in the playbill. It’s a totally offensive play but it’s okay because Mormons are not oppressors. Being offensive isn’t okay when you’re punching down, so to speak. So I think it’s okay to make fun of Catholics, Mormons, etc, but its not okay to make fun of, say, Jews (unless you’re Jewish) because Jewish people have suffered severe oppression and still experience prejudice (unless you’re talking about the state of Israel). Plus Mormonism is a religion, not an ethnic group or ethno-religion. When you’re making fun of it you’re making fun of something people choose, not an immutable characteristic. I thought it was both funny and uncomfortably offensive. But far worse were the stereotypes of Africans (sorry I forget the country they’re from). [/quote]
