Leontyne Price ... checked her picture, have you? You may, on the other hand, think that she is the exception that proves the rule.

No I did not check her picture. Nor did I adequately establish the Anglo, Saxon, or Protestant leanings of any of the other directors. This is a blog, for heaven's sake, not Debrett's Peerage.

I *would* note that if you don't want to be mistaken for a WASP, perhaps the board of the Met is not a good place to hide out.

Honestly, if you can't make fun of someone's name on the internet...
