I saw Yellow Face last Wed., 11/20/2024 and enjoyed it very much. It was funny, provocative, and very educational. At various times during the play the character of Hwang discusses the definition of "being Asian" with a reporter and with Actor B. Based on that definition there are at least 2 biracial male actors who have received a total of 3 Tony awards. They were not Southeast Asian actors but they were definitely biracial Eurasian actors. Not only by Hwang's definition, but also by Wikipedia, and all other standard definitions of Asian.
Full disclosure (not that it matters) but my ethnicity is Polish, Czech, Irish, German. However, my family is 40% Latino (Cuban and Mexican) and 40% Asian (Korean and Lebanese). |
