Whenever I run into something like this my first thought is nearly always, "Must be nice to have a life that gives you enough discretionary time that you can make an existential crisis out if this. I've never had that experience."

I don't know anything about the story at all, but it just seems odd that anyone even cares about the skin color of whoever plays characters in an imaginary world. I'm really falling to see how it matters.

I'll be honest. I completely failed to follow your description of the other side's argument, so maybe my opinion is too uninformed to be of value.

I'm a Wicked fan. Matter of fact, I'm seeng it on Broadway for the 6th time in mid-November with my hubby and friends. It's so disappointing --to say the least-- to hear that people who claim to be fans fail to see the whole point of this marvelous story. Same old, I guess: ignorance reigns supreme.
