Oh dang. So what we’re saying is that when he cast George Washington and Thomas Jefferson as black, he actually probably had no idea that they were white dudes!
DUDE IS ACTUALLY COLORBLIND.
This is just a joke, btw. Just because John Chu and Lin-Manuel are all Hollywood now doesn’t mean they shouldn’t continue to try…

Oh, me TOO!
No thanks.
It certainly rambled... for me. And I got that (punish for privilege) as well. I still checked the most recent out and will give it a go.
I don’t think that’s even accurate to begin with. But her in a room with three blonde valley girls and she would absolutely stick out.
The movie’s diversity was excellent = still not good enough. Because of course it isn’t. This is ridiculous. He has nothing to apologize for.
It’s a lot easier to snark at the girl from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt or the Hamilton guy’s movie because they’re straightforward targets. Going after politicians requires a more nuanced understanding of difficult, multifaceted issues.
So what I’m taking away from this is that LMM doesn’t know what a mosaic is.
I was a little surprised there weren’t more darker-skinned actors, I was also suprised there were basically no asian people.

That’s rough. I had a college friend who after graduation moved to NYC (this was 2004). A few months later, she was walking down the street and was hit by a car and killed. It tough when something like this happens both because it comes out of nowhere and also because it’s totally preventable.
Yes, it’s not good for people who get tragically shot or run over, just like every other city on the planet. What are you even saying?
It’s just so awful to think about. I feel like anything I’d say would be a cliche but as soon as I read about what happened the senseless numbing feeling was impossible to escape. I’m so sorry for her wife and her loved ones.
I’m not.
Die young or live long enough to see your heroes devolve into boomer cringe.
A slideshow-listicle seems inappropriate for a topic like this.
It’s funny, I had a talk with my editor last week about your comment and we both agreed that the only thing for it was to shut this down immediately!
I think they racked up an impossible 7 comments last night for Saturday Night Social, lol. It stopped being anything resembling “social” years ago.
“...........in 1953, also involving the Dutch. Someone claimed the victim was a Dutch woman named Clarabella Dronkers”
Awww, another of the good columns goes down.
