White ‘Lion King’ sign-language interpreter says he was ousted over skin color

It’s not the Great White Way.

A white sign-language interpreter says he was booted from “The Lion King” on Broadway because of his skin color.

Keith Wann, 53, was one of at least two people forced off the production by the non-profit Theatre Development Fund – which staffs Broadway shows with American Sign Language interpreters – after the group decided it was “no longer appropriate to have white interpreters represent black characters for ASL Broadway shows.”

I bet Wakanda is a racist shithole too.
