why is hamilton controversial

While Hamilton's casting of black actors as white historical political leaders may seem to empower them, it actually forces Black actors to play-act as their own oppressors, exalting the very history that undermined them, and that it may even make modern Americans feel better about people often assumed to be heroes who actually owned slave s—such as George Washington.

colour-blind casting (give examples as well)

Colour-blind-casting does not take race or ethnicity into account. Examples are white actresses Scarlett Johansson and Emma Stone playing characters of Asian descent.

'The Mountaintop' (play) Controversy

In a sort of inverse of the situation around Hamilton, the director of a play (The Mountaintop) about the Black civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. triggered a controversy in 2015 when he cast a white actor in the title role, hoping to explore issues of identity and authenticity, especially in light of King's own words about not judging people by their skin colour. The original author of the play objected, calling it a disrespectful distortion of history and of her intentions.
