TLDR / Sorry for google translate:

Drama theatre in Prague choose to withdraw the production of Martin McDonagh's play 'Behanding in Spokane', as author stipulated condition that certain character will be played by actor of African or Caribian descend.

As Kingdom Come: Deliverance taught us, such people are rare breed in Czechia.

Surely such a clause is really easy to fudge if you believe in evolution.

Al Jolson knew how to take care of that back in the day. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jolson_black.jpg#/media/File:Jolson_black.jpg
