clash on a New York City corner when Benjamin, a Caucasian Asian American, and Ronnie, a fully assimilated street musician of Asian ancestry, debate ethnic identity. The charm of this two-person play is that each character is equally likable (and at times equally annoying); their arguments, though oppositional, equally viable; and, in the end, no single viewpoint is privileged. Their debate about how best to represent oneself as an Asian American ends not in a victory but in a draw. Benjamin Wong

Ever since the first Asians arrived in America, there has been racism, prejudice, and discrimination against Asians. For too many years, Asians and American born Asians have been denied equal rights, harassed, physically attacked, and murdered for no justified reason.

The scarce representations
