Assignment: Communications The Patriot Act with Hasan Minaj Paper
Homecoming King with Hasan Minaj
Question I: Let's start with the content of Hasan Minhaj's Standup Comedy Specials and other performance clips (on the Daily Show and at the White House Correspondent's Dinner). How would you characterize Hasan Minhaj's message or themes about his immigrant community and about his and his family's immigrant experience in America? Also, in his Standup, when it comes to stereotypes of India as a country and Indian immigrants in America, does he embrace those stereotypes? Does he challenge them? Or both?
Question II: In this question, focus on the content of various interviews. Consider what you have learned from interviews with Minhaj (print, podcast and on-camera). How would you characterize Hasan Minhaj's innermost thoughts about his role as an Indian-American cultural representative and his approach to that role? And how has he adapted to that role in the wake of his career success?
Question III: Finally, I'd like to know your opinion of Hasan Minhaj. What is your opinion about the way Hasan Minhaj uses his platform? Taking all of the materials into account (performances, interviews, and the premise of his Netflix TV Series Patriot Act), and all of the various ideas and opinions he has expressed, what is your opinion about how Hasan Minhaj approaches his role as an Indian-American cultural representative? Do you find him authentic? Do you think he uses his platform responsibly? Do you find yourself curious to learn more about his work and viewpoints?
