I will act as an airport worker by checking the boarding passes of the passengers. In the scene, asecurit guard and I will be "racial profiling" the passengers. We will give the first two white passengers no problem with getting onto the plane and wish them a good flight. When we see a Korean that lived his whole life in New York, we require an extra security check. The Korean will get angry and get pissed that he is being discriminated against, but the security guard will still take him off stage. Finally, a "middle-eastern" will show up running late and I will lie to him saying the plane has already took off.
I do not have racial beliefs against anyone and this skit is more to make a point. Sterotypes exist but they are unfair because not every Iraqi is a terrorist. Not every Irishman is a sloppy drunk. The characters in my play didn't do anything wrong and are being punished and I find this to be a problem in society today.

I thought your play was very creative!! I really did like it, and I totally agree with you about the stereotypes!!
I loved it. Now if only I could get the part about the Korean. Everything else makes sense by the logic (or lack thereof) of racial stereotypes, but why would the Korean get taken away?
I thought your play was awesome. Go Bulls.
