Weird to say yellow banana, I thought the slur was just banana.
You need to show more sensitivity to green bananas please.

Isn't calling an Asian "banana" similar to calling a black person an Uncle Tom?
I thought the proper slur for that was “Twinkie”.

Look....another lazy thread.

China’s Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen target of alleged racist abuse by fan during US Open
quote:
China’s Zheng Qinwen was the alleged victim of racist abuse from a spectator who repeatedly yelled “yellow banana” during her landmark US Open win over Donna Vekic.
Qinwen beat Vekic on Monday in the latest-ever finish to a women’s match at the tournament – 2.15am – less than a month after defeating the same opponent to win Olympic gold.
But the fallout from her fourth-round triumph at Flushing Meadows has been dominated in her homeland by claims she was racially abused during the match.
According to Chinese media, the “yellow banana” slur was picked up by courtside microphones, with footage of the incident becoming the top trending topic on Weibo before being removed from the platform.
The slur was said to have first been heard in the third game of the second set, during which Zheng won a point before looking up to the stands and saying: “I will beat you.”
Later footage was then said to have shown Zheng preparing to serve as someone appeared to chant “yellow banana, yellow”, sparking a reaction from her coach, Pere Riba.

I had no idea how much Asians are racist towards other Asians until we were at the casino in Biloxi and my wife (Chinese) looked at some Vietnamese with disgust. I then got the whole run down of the hierarchy.
They consider them “monkey-face” Asians right?

It means “Asian (yellow) on the outside but white inside”

I don’t know if I have ever been called a banana but if I was, I would not be offended. It just doesn’t hurt for me.
What does trigger me is when people, typically older refer to Asians as Orientals. I have told more than one person, I am not a rug. Don’t know why but that sets me off.

iirc, oriental means related to the people of Asia, particularly East and Southeast Asia, imo that's a term that has become #offensive, give me a break
