I live under a rock and the only thing I know about Wicked is that interview that's really awkward like a Tim and Eric bit. (hexbear.net)

Okay I am now learning it's a musical about the Wizard Of Oz.

The book was pretty solid. It alluded to the uglier side of American history that my highschool was glossing over. Stuff like eugenics, genocide, experiments done on indigenous and black populations, and old timey takes on people of different races hooking up (word is failing me at the moment) were all being covered in this fantasy land.

Never saw the musical, so I don't know how much made it over.

people of different races hooking up

Is miscegenation the word you're looking for? It's unfortunately still in use by some of the worst people alive

Yikes. I was drawing a blank on 'interracial couple', but that dated term applies to the attitude Glinda had in the book.
