I understand your feelings. I too feel irked when people, deliberately or not, misunderstand what I mean.
Dev IS a very talented young actor, I have seen most of his work and was not criticising him.
I sat here for minutes attempting to come up with something which wouldn’t get the PC Brigade’s knickers in a twist to the extent that I’d be considered a racist. Anglo Indian was out because both his parents are Gujarati Indian Hindus, so, I won’t write a list, I felt that ‘brown’ was the softer option whilst trying to get my valid point over.
One assumes that one of his parents will be Indian otherwise it won’t make sense! White mother and father? Was he adopted then? Is that clearer?

Good post, completely devoid of sarcasm – thank you. It would be interesting to have an all Indian, Negro or European cast, as long as all of them were. I didn’t know that Othello had been played by a white actor (why do people never get irate when they are called white?) Damned good idea. I did, however, know that Richard 111, has had an all Japanese cast.
Finally, I prefer the original reasons for Murdstone disliking David, and Betsy Trotwood, but that’s a personal preference.
