The Toast: Race, Immigration, and Hamilton - The Relevance of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s New Musical

If Alexander Hamilton is the show’s protester/agitator, then Aaron Burr — with his advice of ‘talk less / smile more’ — is the show’s Respectability Politic.” Which is the opposite of actual history. Also the talk of immigration ... I have to laugh. As far as I’m concerned, the moral right sits with the “Return America to the Americans” movement - FedExing a few hundred million Caucasians back to Europe.

Read Vidal’s Burr.
