Sep 15, 2010

What's in a name? As a child growing up in Queens, NY, comedian Hari Kondabolu was regularly told by his mother to sign his name, "Hari K. Kondabolu" to avoid any confusion with other potential Hari Kondabolus. In this video blog, the one and only Hari K. Kondabolu ponders race relations via a white child named Tobey and the child's ironic connection to a man who famously resisted that same appellation.
