Okay, now me and my friend were talking about musicals and I said I would love to play Galinda. Now, this girl who doesn’t seem to like me for some reason marched over and said, “You can’t be here! You’re skin’s the wrong color!”

I have brown skin and I know there is nothing wrong with me but is she right? Galinda in the musical is a white women with blonde hair.
