I love to watch the left eat its own.
Judging people by their skin color is double-plus good.
Hamilton was a bad musical so I’m glad to see him embarrass himself groveling for approval especially for a movie that no one saw.
I see. Now we not only have a quota system where talent means next to nothing, now we also need a reflectometer to measure if they are black enough.
At least 20 years ago, a white actor bought the rights to “The King and I” because he wanted to star in it. He was cancelled so hard by the left, he shelved the project. Acting is all about portraying something you are not. But the king had to be portrayed by an Asian?
Mas mulatos por favor. Seriously? Too funny. Will someone come out with a shade chart? You know ‘BIPOC-5’, ‘BIPOC-3’. So-bipoc 1 would be very light and bipoc-5 would be very very dark. Maybe even have to do 1-10. Then the left can set their quotas of all the available shades that must be included. Sheer friggin’ lunacy.
Still waiting for the remake of Roots with Mattew McConahay(SP) as kunta kinte.
It matters not if you hire the best singers/dancers. It only matters how they look.
Yup…that’s a good plan.
Did he consider blackface?
Talent, does it matter?
“ Now we not only have a quota system where talent means next to nothing, now we also need a reflectometer to measure if they are black enough.”
Times have changed. Used to be one could not enter Atlanta black high society if they were darker than a brown paper bag.
In all honesty, In the Heights chose people to be attractive to all races and in doing so deliberately chose not to include people representative of college marketing materials, not Washington Heights residents, which in my opinion is a pretty serious transgression for a project whose claimed sole purpose is to “celebrate” the people of Washington Heights.
Is it your Musical or the Crazies Musical ? Have an idea oops can’t do it not diverse enough ,LOL
From now on, everyone employed by Lin-Manuel Miranda should undergo a 23-and-Me genetic test to determine African genetic percentage.
I guess there’s no problem with the Founding Fathers being portrayed as black or hispanic.
I’m positive some white people live in the Heights. Did whites complain about the lack of representation?

Obviously we need to have a Pantone reference color sample as a qualification. Think of it as the 21st Century version of the “brown paper bag test”.
South Africa has some color charts they aren’t using. Maybe the could get a few on the cheap.

Left turning on itself is inevitable.
Gee, I don’t see anyone who looks like me in any of his works (except crazy old King George who is always cast as a white).
I will NEVER watch or attend anything written by this anti-White racist.
