Banana or Egg?
Posted by John on May 1st, 2006
I am a “banana”, because I am yellow on the outside and white on the inside. A friend of ours from New York is an egg, because he is white on the outside, and yellow on the inside (because he really likes China, and wants to become a chinese).
All clear? According to this post, us bananas are a minority because we cannot participate in Chinese speech competitions for non-speakers, even though we might have as much difficulty learning chinese as foreigners. And we are denied the position to teach English even if English would be indeed the native language.
So we are discriminated by chinese people, because we look like them…
