Imho the bard transcends race. There are many exceptional Shakespearien actors in the UK who happen to be of African descent. Watch Ralph Feinnes version of Coriolanus! It is epic!!

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
