    Jeet Heer Retweeted Yascha Mounk

    I'm loath to dunk on "Hamilton" because it's very entertaining and people need and deserve entertainment. But the idea that it is a serious form of "anti-racism" is only tenable if you are completely ignorant of the actual history of the period it portrays.https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1279424252874293248 …

    You can pick the anti-racism of Hamilton or you can pick the anti-racism of White Fragility. I know which one I prefer.

        Most people aren't Harvard professors as Mounk is.

        You could really pick a lot of different forms of anti-racism and not constrain yourself to these two arbitrary options!

        It's entertainment, not history.

        It’s a lot of one and a loose adaptation of the other. It was not intended to be true history. But I will say it prompted me to curiosity about the true history. I spent time reading more about his actual history in the last 18 hours, both good and bad.

        That Mounk admires people like Anne Appelbaum, Andrew Sullivan, Steven Pinker and Tony Blair should really give pause for those who think he's a serious defender of liberal democracy.
