She’s biracial, Jewish and the daughter of comedy legend Richard Pryor, so Rain Pryor never runs out of material.

Pryor, who performs her “Fried Chicken and Latkes” act Wednesday at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City, tells The Huffington Post her melange of cabaret and comedy keeps evolving as the country’s race relations, well, don’t.

“I kind of comment on the fact that things haven’t changed that much, because now I’m telling my daughter what my parents told me: Do you see what’s going on?” she said.

The 46-year-old performer said her daughter, 8-year-old Lotus, is learning more about her own racial identity and how it is perceived in today’s society. “She is in the phase, ‘I’m Jewish and I’m black. What does that mean?'”
