[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shakespeare is 'racist' is not trolling, there are numerous academic works making this claim to a various degree. Read this statement from last year from the English Department at University of Chicago:

"English as a discipline has a long history of providing aesthetic rationalizations for colonization, exploitation, extraction, and anti-Blackness. Our discipline is responsible for developing hierarchies of cultural production that have contributed directly to social and systemic determinations of whose lives matter and why."

This is just the surface, look into it if you still doubt it.

Sigh. This is not saying Shakespeare is racist. What is racist is having children read only white authors or when we do include POC it’s just about all the horrible things they had to go through. How do you think a black student might feel if they only thing they see themselves in is slavery??

Please stop being obtuse on purpose. It is absolutely trolling to say Shakespeare as a whole is racist. [/quote]
