Nah Lin Manuel Miranda is pretty racist. Can you imagine if a white guy did a musical about Barack Obama but insisted Obama be played by a white man, because America is a white country? That’s what Miranda did with the founding fathers in that show. I won’t be giving them my money.
It happens in Europe too. Plenty of depictions of famous Britons that are deliberately cast as black people - can you imagine the kerfuffle if it went the other way??
That’s my main problem really, that it’s a double standard. We’re told we must be outraged when a black character is played by a white person (including ANIMATED characters!) but we’re “racist” if we question a black actor playing a white character. GTFOH - this is the game the left want to play, let’s fkn play it. Identity politics won’t work so well once straight white people start playing it.
How about George Washington, do ya know what his race is, champ?? Manuel cast people for their race, he deliberately cast non-white people to play white characters. He explicitly wants to remove “whiteness” from American history, he’s said so many times in interviews.
You’re correct in saying that identity politics is leftist cancer. That’s why racists like Miranda won’t get any of my money.

This is the correct reply. Why are they blackwashing history?

Because whether you like it or not, it’s a political statement.
