Lights, camera, action.

For all my followers who seem to think it is important to know what is going on in my everyday life, I am going to tell them (even promote a little bit) about a show on campus I just attended. And the show itself, I have a hard time typing out so after I type out (and I promise this is the title of it!) the title once, I will further refer to the title as N*W*C. The show was called “N*gger, Wetb*ck, Ch*nk”, where three men “Skewer race with wicked humor” –New York Times.
This show was held on campus here at my college, Illinois State University, and because I am in a sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, it was mandatory for all sororities to go see the show. It was about three men, an African American, and Latino American, and an Asian American, who went through all the stereotypes of each, and made fun of them. The entire show, had me and my sisters laughing so hard, I promise you I cried at least three times. There were people around me of all different races, and I thought to myself before the show even began how uncomfortable I was going to feel. It was a show about racism, and the racism is towards the minorities. And I am not a minority. But they made it funny for all, even if you were the race they were stereotyping at that certain point in the show, everyone laughed, because everyone there knew they were not true (hence the word stereotype).
Although the show was hilarious, at the end of the play they took a serious turn. They made a point to show how different aspects of their lives are affect by society because we generalize them as something they are not. It was very powerful, and everyone in the Braden Auditorium (which holds 3457 people) stood and gave them a standing ovation at the end.
