‘Miss Saigon’ Revisited

Regarding the Gripe by Prof. Dorine Kondo (“ ‘Miss Saigon’ Is a Celebration of Stereotypes,” Feb. 18):

It’s a “brave new world” as Kondo and the new ‘90s make mountains out of the mole hills of race and gender. Perhaps if the bar girl had written “Miss Saigon,” it would then be palatable to the professor.

In the future, please judge a work on its own merit, professor. Your students deserve an objective frame of reference. (Russian writer Vladimir) Nabokov would shrug his shoulders under his headstone if he could hear such “Bend Sinister” politically correct thoughts.
