Hence you are an Islamophobe and I claim my 5 sheckels. But we knew that already.

I was not using Londonistan in an Islamaphobic way. Hindus and Sikhs, of which i am one, also use 'Stan' as a suffix as well, eg Hindustan and Khalistan.

Sure you weren't. And when people yell "jihad" at pro-Palestinian marches, they just means personal struggle, not armed conflict and killing all the Jews.

a) I don't believe you.
b) "-stan" is normally used for the name of a country (e.g. Afghanistan). "-abad" is normally used for the name of a city (e.g. Hyderabad).

Coming back on topic, it's not as if white people are banned from ever seeing this play. It's just that some performances are only for a certain group. In a similar way, I've been to the cinema when they have "over 18s" screenings, which are independent of the film's certification (e.g. they include "U" certificate films); the cinema isn't saying that kids/teenagers aren't welcome, just that there's an opportunity for adults to watch a film without them being around. Another example might be gyms that have women only sessions.

It's been pointed out in this thread that other events in the UK e.g. museum nights, are already specifically aimed at particular self-identifying groups in the UK population. This has been going on for a good few years.

I think the issue with this playwright is that he's up his own behind as other event organisers manage to do these things without winding up other segments of the population.

Anyway as I said if you really want to see his play on one of those nights, there is nothing stopping you identifying as black. Just have a story prepared of why you are and don't make yourself look like Rachel Dolezal...
