this is my favorite song from South Pacific.

love Matthew's facial expressions in this scene. You can tell that he really understands what the song is about, which is why he's so awesome as both a singer and actor. If you don't understand what a song is about, you can't perform it well. IMO...

sadly, oh so true...

And sadly, has probably rung true from almost the dawn of human civilization....I hope one day it no longer rings true!

@swarze Some do, otherwise, why the song. Just hard to break foundations placed firm for centuries.

One of the great songs of the American Musical theatre. Hammerstein never was afraid to confront the issue of racism. Look at the book of SHOWBOAT too. They wanted him to tone that down, but he refused. And Americans don't OWN racism. Sadly, it exists all over the world. We never learn.

what webiste did you get it from

the original show almost didn't get on stage because the backers thought it was saying people were prejudiced- so what did Rogers and Hamerstien do? They added this song to say, yes, peoploe are bigots. Bravo for them. Americans are bigoted.
Oh I love Broadway Matty Fresh...Hopefully he will go back someday...
