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.” And Asians are alarmed because yellow is code for small penises and good grades in school.
Thomas didn’t know Molly was a racist. Now he will immediately shun her.
From FoxNews here:
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.
Some advocates say the city should spend an as yet undetermined amount of taxpayer money to change the color to … wait for it … gold.
MARTA also has a red line, a green line and a blue line. Several other cities — including San Francisco, Tokyo and Washington — utilize yellow within their color-coded systems.
Those racist Japanese bastards! How dare they be so insensitive to the plight of Asian-Americans! I would propose that we nuke them again over this but they already have a recurring Godzilla problem after the last time we had to bitch slap them.
To the “activists”: Are you kidding me?!?!? SIT DOWN & STFU!!! IT’S A COLOR!!!
I would ask that they don’t use the train, however it becomes a safety concern due to the little dick yellow bastards not being able to drive their Toyotas.
Dan,
If it comes to making a train to keep them from easing into other peoples’ lanes, then yes, rename the train line whatever color they demand! It would be epic if they insisted on brown!
If it is true that we should become a rainbow nation, as Jesse Jackson wishes, then one day it will be hard to use any color for maps, trains, or news headlines.
Just FYI, I linked to your article from http://bit.ly/a6mQfC
So are Communists mad about the Red Line? Surely somebody is unhappy with the Blue Line. Best line of the story…”…some people in Atlanta are asking, did the transit authority have to pick yellow?” Because normal people don’t associate colors with racism, that’s why. Only white liberal, elitist populists are asking that question as they get to decide what is racist and what is offensive. Only they can make the jump from lines on a map to mean hate of an ethnic group.
Actually they should make all the tram lines in San Francisco Yellow – the perfect color for defeatist cowards.
