That is a vague term. If I say "Asian" how do you know if I am referring to Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Pakistani, Afghans, Persians, Turks, Mongols, Arabs, Uzbeks, Tatars, etc.... Isn't Oriental a more precise term? |

I'm guessing that this is/was the reasoning for naming LA Metro's Union Station-Pasadena line the "Gold Line" instead of the "Yellow Line," being that the first stop after Union Station is Chinatown. |

Posted by Michael549 on Wed Feb 10 19:59:48 2010, in response to Re: Asians find the term ''yellow line'' offensive, posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Wed Feb 10 12:31:59 2010. From a previous message: "That can't be the reason. If they chose the 1979 colors on the basis of what color the dominant express line was, the Lexington Avenue line would be shown in purple today. Nassau Street would be shown in black (the J/QJ's old color). Because purple would be the Lex's color, the 7 would also have to be a different color."While there is an issue of which line on the dominant express on a major route on the subway system. The color purple or magenta used on the #4 line would have clashed with the red color used for the #2 line in Brooklyn. The color black having been reserved for shuttle trains meant that line like the #5, and the J-train would have to use a different color. The color of the #7 line was orange which was taken by the Sixth AVenue lines, so it was given its current color, especially since it did not share its route with another line. Mike |

That'll give the Brussels bureaucrats the excuse to form the "common defense" that Germany wants.Besides, Germany's still mulling a bailout. But it'll be under "strict conditions" that'll basically suck away whatever sovereignty Greece has remaining to it. Another Bundesland for the EU. |

Just a load of PC nonsense. More thought-police. The "N word" is used quite frequently in numerous contexts... much more than oriental, which does not have the type of history that N does. |

I don't believe that anybody is actually offended by the ideal of a Yellow Line. More than likely, some folks are hoping to profit by pretending to be offended - but saying so in public is even more "politically incorrect" than the use of Yellow. |
