New York Times theater critic is accused of ‘casual racism’ and ‘white cultural supremacy’ after scathing review of mostly-asian cast in new Broadway play KPOP
Producers of the Broadway musical KPOP, based on the Korean music genre, have accused The New York Times of publishing a ‘racist’ review that implied ‘white supremacy’.

The letter, written by KPOP producers Tim Forbes and Joey Parnes, claimed ‘astonishment’ at The Times’s casual racism and cultural insensitivity.
