Trying to Find Chinatown

A group of people were involved in performing a play for Trying to Find Chinatown. Yas and I was part of this play. Yas played as Benjamin while I played as Ronnie. There are two characters in this play, Benjamin is a Caucasian adopted and brought up by Chinese parents while Ronnie is a Chinese American. The main theme of the play was ethnicity. It is interesting to see in the play that Benjamin had wanted his ethnicity to be Chinese just because he was adopted by Chinese parents. I personally like Ronnie's style, he only cares about music, which is his passion, than to think any negative thoughts about ethnicity. This play has taught me more about ethnicity and made me rethink about how ethnicity affects humanity. I have always taught that ethnicity is not good as it is the cause of conflicts around the world. This one sided perspective of mine had been broken down upon reading this play. Reading and acting for the play inspired me to write ethnicity as a topic for paper 3 because I had wanted to delve into the positive and negative impacts ethnicity have on society.
