I live for this shit.Apparently, some Asian-American relations group in Atlanta is PO-ed that the new MARTA line running into Chambodia (an amalgamation of Chamblee and foreign-odia that I appropriated from Tom Wolfe's A Man in Full. That's right, I'm smug, and I just made a literary reference). Obviously, its ridiculous. Yellow is just a color, and the line happens to run through asian-town, ATL. However, there's tons of mexicans and Yeshiva Atlanta there also. So let it go. MARTA is not calling Asians yellers.
This reminds me of the old Po Folks Scandal, of which I cannot find a reliable article (In short, Po' Folks had to change its name to Folks because folks didn't like the "Po'" part).
And in summary, here is a tribute to MARTA, that I try to mention wherever possible:
