Bill Maher has weighed in on the controversy over the lack of Afro-Latinx representation in lead roles in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s new film In the Heights.
Real Time host and comedian Maher has now said on his show that Miranda should “stop the apologising”.
Maher said he doesn’t think Miranda actually thinks he should apologise, and that he is “just avoiding the news cycle”.
The host was referring to Miranda’s hit musical Hamilton, which cast non-white actors as America’s founding fathers and other historical figures.
