'Hamilton' hiring practices under fire after casting call solicits non-white actors only

The hottest Broadway ticket in town is shooting down accusations its casting is racist.

“Hamilton” got some blowback Wednesday after releasing a cattle call for auditions with specific age and race requirements.

The trouble started with an open casting announcement on the blockbuster’s website.

“Hamilton” is “seeking NON-WHITE men and women, ages 20s to 30s, for Broadway and upcoming Tours,” the ad said.

The no-whites-need-apply requirement struck some as racist — not to mention illegal under the city’s human rights law.

But civil rights attorney Ron Kuby said it’s legit.

My family and I decided we weren't watching the Oscars this year. Instead we opted to support the Justice for Flint online fundraising event. Many of our favorite stars were actually there anyway.

For us, it's fundamentally outrageous that out of dozens of opportunities, not a single African American was nominated for one doggone category this year. With a voting pool that is overwhelmingly white, overwhelmingly male, and overwhelming old, 2016 turned out to be one of the whitest years in recent history for the Academy Awards.
