At least this joke doesn't harm anybody, tell that to more than 50% of America who just voted for a racist who will DO REAL DAMAGE THINGS

Some people here are seriously humor-impaired. The ethnic diversity of the HAMILTON cast has been celebrated and the OP is hardly the first person to mention it. (Yeah, there was some exaggeration in the suggestion that cast members might all be here illegally, but surely nobody took that seriously.)

The target of his satire was clearly Trump's racism, not any group of actors.

I'm not saying it was a GREAT joke, but there was nothing racist about it. The mere mention that humans exist in great variety is not ipso facto racist. Sheesh!

Oh, saying that a group of people who aren't white are going to be deported isn't racist? Gotcha!

What the OP implied was that Trump had said it and would follow through. Yes, it's a slight exaggeration--I don't think Trump has discussed Greenlanders--but a joke often depends on exaggeration.

Nothing in the OP said the poster wanted to deport anyone; again, he was satirizing Trump and Trump's remarks.

Racist or not, it's still not very clever or well hashed...

They are Americans, and you have to be an American to join in the Equity.

And if they weren't? Now THAT was racist.

I wasn't aware that you have to be of certain ethnicity to be an "American." Perhaps you have no idea what racism even means: it's the social construct that places one race above others and hence establishes a racial hierarchy through micromanagement and institutionalized racial discrimination.

No love, grab a dictionary. The definitions of the word are broader than that.

I've said for about a year now that Hamilton is a Hilary Clintonian figure: a liberal with some centrist leanings, an underdog from a marginalized group, rising and ultimately prevented by scandal mongering, human weaknesses and political morass from seizing the "shot." Now that Trump won and Clinton lost, I feel like the character may well be tied to the tragedy of Hilary's campaign defeat forever, the way Kennedy and Camelot were inextricable.

" If the cast of Hamilton includes people on guest artist visas,"

It does not. They are all American.

"I've said for about a year now that Hamilton is a Hilary Clintonian figure: a liberal with some centrist leanings, an underdog from a marginalized group..."

Perhaps that's the way it appears in the musical; in real life, Hamilton was white, connected to the upper class, conservative, in favor of an American aristocracy, a presidency more like a monarchy, a Senate elected for life, and a financial/federal system that kept the rich rich and the poor poor.

Remember that the musical is a fiction (although many mistake it for history).

Closer to 20% of America who voted for him, to be accurate
