Highlights from the Lin Manuel Miranda NPR interview. He was not taking any shit (and was flawless doing so):

Interviewer: The other performers are Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Lady Gaga. How does your music fit into that mix?

LMM: Well, it’s music….

~

Interviewer: Hip-hop isn’t the standard Broadway music. And you’ve incorporated this nearly all-minority cast rapping, hip-hopping. This is about guys who wore powdered wigs. They wrote the federalist papers. How does it work, why does it work?

LMM: The casting is not ‘minority.’ Your piece is going to be dated in about five years when we’re the majority. So you might want to say ‘people of color.’

Emmy-award winning writer Steven Moffat won an award from an entertainment industry that is to its bones highly racist, sexist, homophobic, amongst a host of other things, including being extremely resistant to change, and as a result, Emmy-award winning writer Steven Moffat is rewarded for being less than mediocre, incomprehensible, and offensive as fuck.
