It’s ok, they chose a black guy to play Hamilton.


Didn’t they? I haven’t seen it but I remember an uproar about it.

The uproar wasn’t about the minority lead characters, it was about them refusing to do the show for mike pence

Lin Manuel Miranda plays Hamilton, so use your detective skills to figure out if you’re right or not.

He's Puerto Rican. But Jefferson was black. As was Burr.

They didn’t. The cast is diverse. There are white, black, Hispanic, and I think Phillipa Soo is half Chinese. Lin Manuel Miranda is of Puerto Rican decent and he plays Alexander Hamilton.

But Hamilton was white. I thought progressives were opposed to cultural appropriation? Either progressives are ignorant of the fact Hamilton’s white or progressives are hypocrites. Which is it I wonder.
