# 11 Issue for race

Other politically-charged topics Seinfeld use as fodder for its storylines is racism. And usually they are taking ambiguous in its stance about the subject matter. For example, in “The Chinese woman,” (October 13, 1994) Jerry tried to call to George but phone line kept went to wrong number so he talked to the woman named Donna Change. Jerry was interested in her and he thought she is Chinese because of her name. However when he met her, she is not Asian but Ireland woman who has blond hair. He was disappointed but he was still seeing her. After that, George’s mother who was trying to call George accidentally talked with Donna Change and she strongly believed that Donna Change is Chinese. She talked to Donna Change to get some advices because she thought Chinese have better wisdom than other races. However later she found out that she is not Chinese and she rejected every advice from her just because she is not Chinese. Although both Jerry and George’s mother were interested in Chinese woman, after they found out she is not the one, they have two responds that Jerry accepted but not George’s mother. And this showed that where characters stand view of different races. George’s mother was so acceptable to the Chinese but not Ireland’s wisdom.
