Crying wolf (also called lying) damages your credibility. It makes you look more emo right than alt right.

Jonathon Groff, Brian d'Arcy James, Seth Stewart, Rory James O'Malley, Nicholas Christopher, Andrew Rannells, Taran Killam, Ana Nogueira. These are all white people who have played in Hamilton so dont give me this "they refuse shit" Lin wanted his show to be diverse, he wanted to tell a story about America back then with people from America now. Even Daveed Diggs said it was the first time he'd ever felt political, so obviously what Lin did was the right choice, besides I would find it hilarious sitting through 2 hours of white people rapping, and thats coming from me, a white person??

Read it and weep. Then come back here and say, “Wow Bob, you were right and I was wrong.” I actually hear that quite often.

Not a single one? Tell me, did you even watch the musical? Do you even know who the cast is? Eliza is played by a white actress, King George by a white actor. Don’t make posts claiming racism if your complaint can be disproven by a single google search.

Simple Google search will verify that they do not want to hire any new white actors.
See how easy this is?!?! You should try it sometime!

Hamilton is not racist. It was made by a Puerto Rican who wanted minorities to be represented in musical theatre because most musical theatre does not have any good, interesting, or main roles for POC (People of Color). It is not about not liking white people. It's about standing up for POC. Not only that but white people are in the show. Just because they aren't the main character doesn't mean they're not in the show. Musical theatre is supposed to be about acceptance, that is what Lin was doing. Lin-Manuel Miranda also wanted to have POC relate to the history of the United States from other aspects other than slavery and maids who were beaten to death. This show is not racist. It represents the opposite. It represents representation and acceptance. Did you know that the US did not formally apologize for slavery until there was a black president? It probably never would have happened if not for Obama being elected. Don't sit here and act like you are underprivileged you heterosexual, cis gender, white, male.

Sorry, a "non-white" casting call IS racist. It is specifically singling out a specific race for exclusion. How much more racist can you get? You can not like the truth but that doesn't change things. Imagine if they put out a "non-black" or "non-Asian" casting call.

The outrage would be over the top. Cities would be burned.
