"Weedle McHairybug well Lin-Miranda said in his own words...."We're telling the story of old, dead white men but we're using actors of color, and that makes the story more immediate and more accessible to a contemporary audience." Besides, I'm tired of seeing white people taking the lead on everything. It's time for other races to have spotlight from time to time."

Seriously? It's not like they couldn't make stories based on those of colored culture if that's the issue. We've already got Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, and Tiana for non-white leads, anyhow (well, okay, maybe just Pocahontas, Mulan, and Tiana. Arab is technically still white). Oh, and also Moana.

And quite frankly, who gives a darn about a contemporary audience for the founding fathers? What I care about is learning about history, not whether the people in that history match me in any way. For instance, I'm doubtful the Founding Fathers were Autistic, so I see no reason to expect any of them to have that. Besides, by that argument, there shouldn't be any problem changing Black Lightning or Black Panther to white people.
