Yes, of course, but Hamilton has purposefully made a point of championing non-white talent and here goes Joel @-ing them for attention because he (shocked Pikachu face) worked as a courier for a bit between theatre jobs and thinks he deserves, what, a medal? Shrek, you're a moron, not a martyr.
It's in poor taste anyway as most musical theatre performers regardless of race need to work regular jobs too. It's just my personal opinion that he should stand down in this instance. I could be way off. Happy to be corrected.
