Pence is a good guy.
Interesting the Hamilton cast said to respect “diversity” while... hiring only ‘non-white’ cast.
There was a conversation on FR last night that was started by someone who is a fan of the show. The subject came up about having actors play people of another race than their own. When it comes to historical plays or films, I think one should adhere to history and try to cast soemone who looks more or less like the actual character, or use enought makeup and mannerisms to suggest the actual character. For example, We all know what Ben Franklin looked like, so it would be absurd to depict him as anything other than an old guy with long hair that is thinning on top.
I can be flexible about multiracial casting if the play or film is not historical. So, I would not have trouble with a multiracial Shakespeare play as long as the play is not a history play. An exception sould be where the characters' races are an important part of the plot.
Personally, I think the producers of "Hamilton" wanted mult-racial (non-white) actors because they felt that "white guys can't rap". "Diversity" to libs always means "less white".
