Well, the hugely popular "Hamilton" has been problematic since it opened.

The creator of Hamilton limits the roles of the Founding Fathers to minorities (which he refers to as "people of color").

He said, "Our cast looks like America looks now, and that's certainly intentional. We're telling the story of old, dead, white men, but we're using actors of color, and that makes the story more immediate and more accessible to a contemporary audience"

The actress who debuted the role of Angelica said, "The most beautiful thing about [Hamilton] is...it's told by such a diverse cast..."

Well, a group limited to blacks and Hispanics most assuredly does NOT "look like America is now", and, as far as the cast being "diverse", it's only "diverse" if "diversity" means, "no whites".

That the cast should be triggered by a man who ran on a ticket that won because it appealed to whites is no surprise - all racists are like that.

What IS surprising is that New York whites continue to stream in to cheer on their extinction. Some people never learn, I guess.

Sounds like they are happy those old white men are DEAD.

Bigotry comes in all colors and their hate is plain to see.

File an equal opportunity employment lawsuit against them for discrimination based on skin color. The people they are playing are historically white and yet their casting decision is absolutist in rejecting any white applicant. So much for frickin’ diversity.

Go back to Cuba, Vietnam, or Venezuela and tell us how wonderful the Communist world really is, libtards.

I'm no longer surprised. They're part of that global web and their superiority complex has gone unchallenged. I don't think they've ever had the propaganda they promote challenged by meaningful life experiences.

That is exactly what it means — now.
