What’s with all these minorities playing Hamilton? I don’t care about minorities playing any part for any production but for historical reasons I think it’s dumb. Are they going to have a minority play George Washington? It’s blatant race mocking. How about a play with a white guy in Martin Luther King Jr role?

Hamilton was born on the island of Nevis in the West Indies by an unwed mother......
she was French/ British and his father was Scottish

Today’s revisionists are taking liberties with speculation that the mom had ‘mixed blood’.....but there is not substantial evidence

I’ve always wondered why Miranda hasn’t been accused of Cultural Appropriation. When he advertised in NYC for replacement actors, the wording included ‘minorities only’. I know Lefties like to pretend a lot of things, but putting forth a play about our Founding Fathers, using only minorities, just shows extreme jealousy.
