Can you imagine if a white playwright had written a play about historic figures who were members of minority groups , and would only hire white actors to play the parts?
So this guy writes a play based on historical figures who were white , but only minorities are allowed to play the parts. And all the critics in the media lauded him for his Visionary casting.
No apology from him for his blatant “cultural appropriation”, of course.
I think the sight of a bunch of white guys doing hip-hop would be pretty ridiculous. As it was, within a few seconds into the opening number most people forget the ethnicity of the actors and appreciate the play.
If our Founding Fathers HAD been “people of color”: instead of the United States of America, there wold have arisen an impoverished and corrupt collection of “Haitis”!!!!
