In the Section Hate Crime, the play Big Head incorporates the idea of Claymation to demonstrate the idea of racial hatred being the cause of hurting people physically. In this part, a South Asian American and his family were brutally hit by the Asian Americans who mistakenly thought of the family to be Middle Eastern as the family was coming out of the Karaoke bar.
