Discussions of In The Heights focus on the star power of Anthony Ramos, the joy of summer in the city on a big screen -- and the fact that the actual Washington Heights is dominated by Afro-Latinx people, who don't have *any* presence in the film's many lead roles. It's not 'cancel culture' to discuss the casting decisions made by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jon M Chu that got the film to this point. The critique, the implications - and the impact on the "good guy" careers.
