Has anyone mentioned that “Hamilton” is appropriated culture, fake history? Asking for a friend...

I have actually brought this up, as well as the “reclaimed classics” novels that have people of color rewriting classic novels with their perspective. To say this is to be called racist.

For example, I’ve been told that blacks were stripped of their culture, so it is not appropriation if they claim/reclaim classic books and write it to further their narratives. Or co-opting white characters with black or gender-swapping roles, because that’s necessary to be fair.
