◉ why is hamilton controversial.
Answer: While Hamilton's casting of black actors as white historical
political leaders may seem to empower them, it actually forces Black
actors to play-act as their own oppressors, exalting the very history
that undermined them, and that it may even make modern
Americans feel better about people often assumed to be heroes who
actually owned slave s—such as George Washington.
◉ colour-blind casting (give examples as well).
Answer: Colour-blind-casting does not take race or ethnicity into
account. Examples are white actresses Scarlett Johansson and Emma
Stone playing characters of Asian descent.
◉ 'The Mountaintop' (play) Controversy.
Answer: In a sort of inverse of the situation around Hamilton, the
director of a play (The Mountaintop) about the Black civil rights
leader Martin Luther King, Jr. triggered a controversy in 2015 when
he cast a white actor in the title role, hoping to explore issues of
identity and authenticity, especially in light of King's own words
about not judging people by their skin colour. The original author of
the play objected, calling it a disrespectful distortion of history and
of her intentions.
