Asian-American activists offended that MARTA re-named the train line into the heart of Atlanta's Asian community the "yellow line" will take their objections to the transit agency's chief on Friday.
MARTA officials were warned by an employee before the name change last October that Atlanta’s burgeoning Asian community would find the term for the line to Doraville offensive.
MARTA launched the color-coded lines Oct. 1 to help passengers navigate the system more easily. Transit officials noted that other systems, including Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, use similar color codes. MARTA designates its lines red, green, blue and yellow.

No "Black" line?
:racist:

This should be filed in the "some people will be offended by anything" cabinet. :whatever:

Hmmm, Asians admitting that they are "yellow" ?!?!?!? I've been to Asia and known plenty of Asians in my life. None of them appeared in any way, shape or form, to be "yellow'. People really need to get over themselves. Life's too short for this kind of bullshit.

Wake me when they call it the chink line and there's reason to be upset.

For some reason, this reminds me of the Wood Eye joke which I don't remember very well but it went something like this.
A guy lost his eye, he couldn't afford a glass one so he carved his own prosthetic eye out of wood. His friends made fun of him and called him "Wood Eye." Worse, he had no success with women as he was terribly self conscious of his wooden eye and felt it repulsed women.
One day he went to a dance, more or less dragged there by his friends who were starting to become concerned at his increasing isolation and feeling bad for constantly ribbing him. At first he shyly clung to the wall, sipping 7-Up out of a paper cup wondering why he even came. Then he noticed a lass with a peg leg, also self-consciously clinging to the wall. The couple exchange glances and shy smiles until finally the guy screws up enough courage to ask the lass with the peg leg to dance.
"Would you like to dance?" the guy with the wooden eye asks the lass with the peg leg.
"Would I?" says the lass, "Would I--"
"Who you calling "wood eye," peg leg," he says and storms off in a huff.
