Politically Incorrect Colors
Blogger BelchSpeak informs us that the PC folks in Atlanta have their panties in a twist over the color yellow. Where will this end?
BelchSpeak, Atlanta Under Fire For Slant-Eyed Trains or Something
Actually, the city is being accused of being a bunch of racist bastards because they dared to call the new spur line on their subway system the “yellow line (1).” And Asians are alarmed because yellow is code for small penises and good grades in school.
As I wrote in my article My Slant on the Miley Cyrus Asian Mock Photo:
Stop being so easily offended - stop being like Muslims where everything is insulting and offensive. Just as black victimhood has failed to advance the black cause so does petty nitpicking on innocuous issues. Let's stay serious on real issues regarding racism and ethnic hatred and discrimination.
We have almost every ethnic group in the world living in America. What are we supposed to do, vet every word on every map and street name and news article to make sure no over-sensitive idiot is offended? Did you know 'Vicksburg' means 'f*ck mountain' in German? Are we prohibited from ever writing a headline that says an African-American has been black-balled over some offense? Will we be prohibited from giving out pink-slips to gays and lesbians? Will we have to change the name of brownstones in Hindu neighborhoods?
Perhaps we should scour the rest of the world and complain that those countries be more political correct as well. After all, little children will see offensive names on world atlases and globes. I mean, isn't LongDong, China an oxymoron? What about F*cking, Austria? Shouldn't they have consulted with Americans before naming their town?
Isn't Anus, France a crappy name to use? And I have been to Tittisee, Germany and I can tell you the name is quite misleading.
A Code Yellow message announced over a hospital's public address system is hospitalese alerting the staff to a pending emergency or external disaster. Should Hospitals need to convene a committee to reconsider its use if a busload of Japanese goes over a cliff?
These Asian idiots really jap the hell out of me, the world is filling up with more Muslims every day, and this is what they are whining and crying about.
Stop it, for God's sake! Unless you are an atheist in which case, "Stop it, for the sake of random quantum effects in the universe!" I don't want to offend my atheist friends.

Fox News, Atlanta's Yellow Line Has Some Asians Seeing Red
There are seven colors in a rainbow and 64 in a box of crayons. So why, some people in Atlanta are asking, did the transit authority have to pick yellow?
"Hotlanta" is living up to its name this winter as Asian-Americans and the city's transit officials debate the decision to rename a train route into the heart of the city's Asian community. It used to be called "Doraville," now it's the "yellow line."
Activists say the name shows a lack of sensitivity by the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), which changed the line's name on Oct. 1. MARTA officials plan to meet on Friday with a group of Asian-Americans to discuss their concerns about the color-coded system.
