“ The trio all discussed the lack of Afro-Latino and Black Latinx in the film, which, despite the backlash, has received rave reviews from critics following last week’s theatrical release.”

Democrats are racists.

Plain and simple.

The only tiny solace I ever take from the cancel culture is watching them turn on their own.

I hope he also apologizes for not having enough pasty white dudes in the movie.

I found this definition:
"Colorism," the idea that light-skinned minorities are given more privilege than their darker-skinned peers, is a centuries-old concept that many insiders say remains pervasive in the entertainment industry.
My rascist Grandfathers generation (he was born in 1907) thought the best Black person was the darkest because he could never pass for white.   Charley Pride gave him a conniption fit!   Finally and thankfully in our enlightened modern times the light skinned is the best Black person.

Woops, us Whiteys got it wrong again.   We now find out the lightest Black person is not the best.   My rascist Grandfather was right, and the Blackest is the best I guess according to "Colorism."   Full circle fools, us all.

If Melissa and Leslie are so concerned about the lack of darker skinned Hispanics being in the movie, they certainly could have given up their starring roles.

an adaptation of his beloved Broadway production

Whelp! There's another "beloved" entertainment product I never heard of. Hold muh beer while I go hang my head...and laugh my butt off.

Everyone needs to submit their 23-and-Me genetic results for a determination of their Afro-Latino status.

The entire Hamilton play and movie had the wrong colored actors playing the parts. Apologies to white people? I think not. That’s acceptable.
