“In the Heights” follows an ensemble, with the leads primarily being of Puerto Rican and Dominican descent.according to a 2016 study from Pew Research Center

Why does he need to apologise? Isn't the show about latinos?
Give this man a break. I love Lin manual Miranda
No one can do anything today without an apology behind it. Ridiculous
Mixed raced! Argue bc one side of the race isn’t doing what they want.! The movie is made Afro Latinos will get over it!
Lack of white people in Hamilton still goes unnoticed.
Unpopular opinion - the perfect opportunity was with Kevin Rosario. No offense to Jimmy Smits, but he felt inserted into the cast.
He thought it was The 1950s
People will complain no matter what. In the end you will never please everyone.
He shouldn’t have to. People are too sensitive
ZerlinaMaxwell Is he on woke probation now? What a great film.
America has lost its mind. Lin Manuel is a national treasure and you all are gonna shame him? GTFOH
The apology is going the way of the word “racist”. Totally meaningless.
We all must de-condition ourselves for the rest of our lives.
Cancel culture does rather remind one of Mao's china. And Pol Pot's Cambodia.
Nothing is ever good enough for the woke scolds
Hey Hamilton had a lack of Hispanics. Hispanics are left out of most of all movies. African Americans are all over movies and tv. So don’t apologize. It was time for Hispanics to be showcased

Like the kid who pissed in the public pool is now having to run through a field of yellow streams all aiming for him. Speaking as a Latino with black Latinos in the family. Latinos in general have better things to do than complain over nothing. Wanna talk about skin? How about making yours a little less thin?
