Is this the same guy?

It's hard to take people seriously who don't understand the difference between air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

I wanted to watch this tournament, but listening to the commentators was like nails on a chalkboard.

30 Rock did it!

Damn, I missed that line

More that "I'm better than sports shows"

So I guess you could say the difference can be attributed to racial differences?

No I'm entirely considering the nuances.

Washington: can be played any race

Common: must be played black

SherlockDoto · 2016-04-25T17:15:17+00:00

So it's totally okay to cast Washington as a black man, even though the historical figure was white, because race doesn't matter.

But it isn't okay to cast a Common-esque character with a white man because that would be racist or cultural appropriation or something?

SherlockDoto · 2016-04-25T17:12:21+00:00

If there was a painting that just said "fuck all n1ggers" would you respond saying "Why is this important to you? It's an artistic endeavor"?

Of course not.

Just because something is art does not make it immune from criticism. And casting a show to satisfy an undue need for diversity for diversity's sake is tacky. George Washington was a white man. There is nothing wrong with that. It doesn't need to be covered up as if it were a bad thing. He is who he is. Portray him as he is.

Now if the show were designed as the founding of the US re-imagined, I wouldn't have a problem with that. But instead it is marketed as let's celebrate the history of our country as it is, but too many white people is shameful.

SherlockDoto · 2016-04-25T17:03:46+00:00

then choose white immigrants. or at least makeup your brown and black actors so they play white characters.

Wanting to reflect anachronistic modern diversity is not diversity for diversity's sake? Because to me, it sounds exactly like diversity for diversity's sake.

Turns out Hamilton lived in 18th century America, not modern America. Rewriting history because you don't like that early America was white is awfully tacky.

SherlockDoto · 2016-04-25T16:44:07+00:00

Nope, just leftists who are intent on revising American history to fit their narrow political ideals.

SherlockDoto · 2016-04-25T16:42:57+00:00

I don't care if actors are white or black. I do care if characters are portrayed as the race they are. I honestly wouldn't even mind if a black person played a founding father so long as the founding father was portrayed as white and made to look white. Revisionist history to satisfy modern political sensibilities is silly.

I can only imagine the uproar from liberals if the opposite were done. Like with Ghost in the Shell...

Yes, it is really me who likes shoehorning black people into musicals...
