Celebrated political satirist Paul Zaloom presents a comedy about the changing face of race in America, tackling the gnarly subject of the upcoming de-honky-ization of the United States when white people in America will be what art critic Lucy Lippard once called, "just another other." Employing toy theater puppetry and ventriloquism, Zaloom explores hidden anxieties among the Caucasian majority, including his own.
