Its funny but after reading this I was suddenly reminded of a play I did with the fabulous Chua Enlai, directed by Krishen Jit - it was David Henry Hwangs Looking for Chinatown about a white guy who has been adopted by Chinese parents and is essentially more Chinese than the Chinese guy he bumps into (played by Enlai). The piece was seen as almost ridiculous but thought provoking - indeed I think that Francine in the TV show American Dad is also adopted by a Chinese family - why is this seen as comedic? Plenty of Chinese kids are adopted into white families - so why is it the other way round seems so strange? Am I asking my kids to live a life previously restricted to the theatre and comedy shows?
