So wrong type of Puerto Ricans?


Are you kidding me? When are filmmakers going to start telling these whiners to “Fuck off! I’ll cast whoever the hell I want. You don’t want to watch it, then don’t.”

Oh that’s right. They won’t. Hollywood filmmakers suck at the teat of political correctness and let a tiny group of grippers dictate what they can or can’t do, even when it means they’ll lose money.

This is especially ironic since 99.99% of the historical white characters in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton are played by PoC actors.
