Writers and comedians Sureni Weerasekera, Pooja Reddy, and Zubi Ahmed discuss what, on a fundamental level, makes a joke funny or unfunny. How have Asian American artists contended with comedic depictions of Asian Americans generally? How has humor been used by both the powerful and the disenfranchised, to subjugate and to liberate? Moderated by Jafreen Uddin, Executive Director of the Asian American Writers’ Workshop.
