- Racism in Marin County: A Troubling Incident at the Novato Theater Company Racism in Marin County can be shocking in both its openness and its acceptance. A recent incident involving the Novato Theater Company is a painful example of this reality. A few months ago, two teenagers associated with the Novato Theater Company directed racist remarks at a Hispanic man simply because he politely asked them a question about parking. There was no provocation — only a courteous inquiry met with bigotry. When the man brought this incident to the attention of the company's two owners, he was met with an even more disturbing response. Rather than acknowledging the harm caused or holding the teenagers accountable, the owners defended their behavior, citing the fact that the teenagers were Caucasian as justification for their language. This response sends a deeply troubling message: that the Novato Theater Company's leadership condones racist behavior toward the Hispanic community, particularly when it comes from white teenagers under their supervision. This is not just an isolated incident — it reflects a broader culture of racial bias that must be openly acknowledged and addressed.
