Would you boycott the play Hamilton?

After the complete collapse of civility towatds the Vice President-elect Pence during his visit to the play on Friday evening ... there is a movement to hit the liberal cast and crew of the play in the pocketbook, with a boycott. I think this is long overdue, especially since the initial casting call stated that white people should not apply
(http://thehill.com/pundits-blog-aut...d-casting-notice-seeking-non-white-performers).

If interested in more about the boycott, go to #boycotthamilton.

Do you think the boycott is reasonable considering the negative reception and cast lecture of Pence?


I'm boycotting Hamilton, just like I'm boycotting Lamborghini.

I don't like the idea of "no white people need apply", as that destroys the racial diversity they were going for. But, isolating the message to VP-Elect Pence, nothing that I saw it heard was out of line. They were essentially saying that they hope that the new administration will represent ALL people. Not an unreasonable request. Unnecessary, imo. But not unreasonable.

Unless by all people it really meant that they were calling Pence racist, which is likely the case.

Clearly a violation of anti-discrimination laws. But I don't see anyone on the left complaining.

‘Hamilton’ Star Who Lectured Pence Under Fire for ‘Racist,’ ‘Sexist’ Tweets


Hamilton actor Brandon Victor Dixon, who lectured Vice President-elect Mike Pence Friday from the Broadway stage about fears of bigotry under a Trump presidency, is under intense fire for sexually suggestive tweets some social media users have called racist and sexist.

In a March 2012 tweet, Dixon wrote, “St. Patty’s day weekend is like Christmas for black dudes who like white chicks. Happy holidays boys.
