I want to start this out with full disclosure, I am not a person of colour and I have never actually seen Hamilton, I've only listened to the soundtrack.
So I will be the first to admit that "Hamilton" is brilliant, but the more I listen to the soundtrack the more problematic I find it becomes. I know that this is going to sound awful, but for all its multi-racial cast, Hamilton succeeds in white-washing history. I say this because of key people who are missing from the story and aspects of the story that are glossed over.
( Possibly unpopular thoughts below the cut )
