Racism in the Entertainment World: Nothing New
This past weekend I saw David Henry Hwang’s thoughtful play, Yellow Face, which is a semi-autobiographical sketch of his professional and personal life dealing with race in the media and entertainment world. Although, it was written over a decade ago, it is unfortunate that many of the play’s themes are still alive and well today. People of color are still relegated to some really bad stereotypes in the media. If you haven’t seen the play, you can check out this “Made for YouTube” version.
