For the first time reading Trying to Find Chinatown by David Henry Hwang in 1996 which tells the story of two very contrasting culture perspectives of the Caucasian man Benjamin and the Chinese man Ronnie. The first time reading this, I was a bit taken off how rude Ronnie is at Benjamin and how unnatural the characters talk. As I read further and analyzed it, the brash arguments that Ronnie and Benjamin have are meant to be very exuberant and “in your face” about a culture that is not too often talked or represented as properly as they should be. To be honest, I am not as familiar with much works that are about or written by Asian Americans. There is not as much representation as for what is shown in media for the most part being stereotypes.
