I'm at Ballet Revolucion, a Cuban dance company. When I arrived in line, a White man looked alarmed and asked "Are you here to see the ballet?" as if I was lost, contrary to the lining up and ticket in hand. I suspected the Caucasity level would be high. It's critical. /Thread

The audience is about 98% White. Age range from 10 to 80+ years, but average age is probably 60. I'm in Row A. I'm ecstatic to see a show by fellow #Latins. We are so few in Australia & not many events celebrate our various cultures. As usual though, White people ruin everything

From the first song, White people are talking non stop, being ignorant. The couple behind me are drunk, criticising every move ("I hate when they can't open their legs properly!") He slurs to the English songs & gibberish to Spanish bits. I have to turn around and ask him to stop
