When the race or ethnicity of a character in a story is changed to an ostensibly more “palatable” or “profitable” ethnicity. (A common practice in Hollywood, where the most coveted roles are frequently given to white actors to play, even if originally, the character was a person of color. Aspiring actors of color are marginalized and may have to play “racebent” bad – guy characters that were originally white.) -Urbandictonary.com

Volunteers must wear semi-formal attire and there is no color coordination. Please show up to the restaurant by 3:30 pm. You will be separated into groups to work different areas of the banquet. Some of the duties involved are setting up tables and reception area, decorating, selling raffle tickets, registering graduates, and cleaning up everything.

I will also need five volunteers to help me cooking some appetizers for the reception Sunday afternoon. Please let me know if you can. We will start cooking at 12 pm and feel free to bring your clothes and get ready at my place.

If you have any questions whatsoever please do not hesitate to ask. You can reach me through email at pajtagxyooj@gmail.com
