| #12 Someone didn't get the message that 'yellow' is the New White(tm) in order to avoid embarrassing other minority groups by their success or the others by their lack thereof. |

| #11 Here's a suggestion: The "Asian oommunity" needs to get over itself. |

| #10 Well, in the South, "yellow" meant a mix of white with something else, usually black, as in "Yellow Rose of Texas". That song is not about a rose, it is about a woman if mixed race named Rose. |

| #6 In all seriousness, the Asian community... Vietnamese, Cambodian, Korean, Thai and others have brought a tremendous boost to the Atlanta community. They work hard, own many businesses, take education very seriously, are thrifty savers, and they stay out of jail! |

| #1 Yasutake, .... said the MARTA staff members didn’t appear concerned that “yellow” is considered insensitive and might infuriate members of the community. Your first clue Yasutake, the loud snoring? |
