Is it racism to call an asian person "yellow"? - GoFuckYourself.com

I just saw the Spanish version of "Takeshi's Castle", and it is called "Humor Amarillo"

( Amarillo is the word for yellow in Spanish )

My friend calls Chinese people that. He's kinda a racist tho.. I mean he would never call someone that to their face but he says it when talking about Chinese people.

Klen · 01-14-2007, 02:12 PM

alexg · 01-14-2007, 02:35 PM

i would say it depends on the situation in which you say it...

crazyforyou · 01-15-2007, 07:47 AM

v4 media · 01-15-2007, 07:57 AM

In Spain any asian gets called a 'chino' anyway. So not really that much worse.

carol.prime · 01-15-2007, 09:01 AM

Haha this is true, same goes for those asian bazaar shops around ( there must be thousands of them throughout Spain )

reynold · 01-15-2007, 06:10 PM

Does someone still use 'yellow' these days?

DaddyHalbucks · 01-15-2007, 06:20 PM

No word is inherently bad, or inherently good.

For example, if you were quoting someone and criticizing them, it is different that using the word yourself.

Spunky · 01-15-2007, 06:30 PM

There's a hell of a lot worse you could call them
