I thought we weren’t allowed to watch actors of one race play characters of another? Especially actual historical figures?

I really like musicals. Maybe I was born about 30 or 40 years too late, past the "golden" musical age.
In fact, I just received a couple of days ago a recommendation from Amazon to buy a 5 DVD set of the Golden Age of Musicals for only USD$12!!!

Rutgers University professor Lyra Monteiro criticized the show's multi-ethnic casting as obscuring a complete lack of identifiable enslaved or free persons of color as characters in the show.[186] Monteiro identified other commentators, such as Ishmael Reed, who criticized the show for making Hamilton and other historical personages appear more progressive on racial injustice than they really were.[186] According to Reed, "[Hamilton's] reputation has been shored up as an abolitionist and someone who was opposed to slavery," which Reed stated was untrue.
