Exactly my point. I can see how it's progress to have a minority of Māori characters in mainstream productions played by Māori actors, or failing that, actors who look at least vaguely Māori. But I'm not sure it's progress to typecast actors. Confining Māori actors to only playing Māori characters, autistic actors to only playing autistic characters, and so on.
Context: Been a community theatre actor most of my life.
