write a play about white people. The problem is that the characters seem to
have minds of their own. The playwright sends in her agent to interrogate the
characters and then she tries to intervene as they expose their pathetically
racist and patently disempowered viewpoints. Is this the playwright's
reflection on racism, or on her own prejudice?</span></span>
