I have yellowcake

Anyone hungry?

[mrswdk]

Yeah, sorry Gip but Google is rarely your friend when it comes to these things. Have some of Tee's racist cake and try again later.

[TeeGee]

my cake isn't racist, but maybe your interpretation of it is...

yellowcake AKA uranium.. (see: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=yellowcake&oq=yellowcake&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.2511j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 ) I am sitting on the worlds largest supply

Funny though, where I come from the term "yellow" is not used these days, in fact i haven't heard it used in a racist manner in many many years, but I do have to consider that the use of colours in a sentence may be considered racist by some.

Come on mate, yellow was always an american term for cowardly. During the very recent(modern history) white Australia policy times. There was a lot of talk about the yellow peril. Of particular delicious irony to most educated readers was the habit of blaming the chinese for corrupting the white race with filthy opium dens....... The british had nothing to do with the opium trade <wink, wink, nudge, nudge, snicker>
Following poem, by one of if not the most celebrated Australian poets ever. A product of his time, remarkably balanced considering the appaling anti asiatic rhetoric in the papers at the time.

Kanzo Makame, the diver, sturdy and small Japanee,
Seeker of pearls and of pearl-shell down in the depths of the sea,
Trudged o'er the bed of the ocean, searching industriously.

Over the pearl-grounds the lugger drifted -- a little white speck:
Joe Nagasaki, the "tender", holding the life-line on deck,
Talked through the rope to the diver, knew when to drift or to check.

Kanzo was king of his lugger, master and diver in one,
Diving wherever it pleased him, taking instructions from none;
Hither and thither he wandered, steering by stars and by sun.

Fearless he was beyond credence, looking at death eye to eye:
This was his formula always, "All man go dead by and by --
S'posing time come no can help it -- s'pose time no come, then no die."

Dived in the depths of the Darnleys, down twenty fathom and five;
Down where by law, and by reason, men are forbidden to dive;
Down in a pressure so awful that only the strongest survive:

Sweated four men at the air pumps, fast as the handles could go,
Forcing the air down that reached him heated and tainted, and slow --
Kanzo Makame the diver stayed seven minutes below;

Came up on deck like a dead man, paralysed body and brain;
Suffered, while blood was returning, infinite tortures of pain:
Sailed once again to the Darnleys -- laughed and descended again!



Scarce grew the shell in the shallows, rarely a patch could they touch;
Always the take was so little, always the labour so much;
Always they thought of the Islands held by the lumbering Dutch --

Islands where shell was in plenty lying in passage and bay,
Islands where divers could gather hundreds of shell in a day.
But the lumbering Dutch in their gunboats they hunted the divers away.

Joe Nagasaki, the "tender", finding the profits grow small,
Said, "Let us go to the Islands, try for a number one haul!
If we get caught, go to prison -- let them take lugger and all!"

Kanzo Makame, the diver -- knowing full well what it meant --
Fatalist, gambler, and stoic, smiled a broad smile of content,
Flattened in mainsail and foresail, and off to the Islands they went.

Close to the headlands they drifted, picking up shell by the ton,
Piled up on deck were the oysters, opening wide in the sun,
When, from the lee of the headland, boomed the report of a gun.

Then if the diver was sighted, pearl-shell and lugger must go --
Joe Nagasaki decided (quick was the word and the blow),
Cut both the pipe and the life-line, leaving the diver below!

Kanzo Makame, the diver, failing to quite understand,
Pulled the "haul up" on the life-line, found it was slack in his hand;
Then, like a little brown stoic, lay down and died on the sand.

Joe Nagasaki, the "tender", smiling a sanctified smile,
Headed her straight for the gunboat--throwing out shells all the while --
Then went aboard and reported, "No makee dive in three mile!

"Dress no have got and no helmet -- diver go shore on the spree;
Plenty wind come and break rudder -- lugger get blown out to sea:
Take me to Japanee Consul, he help a poor Japanee!"

So the Dutch let him go; but they watched him, as off from the Islands he ran,
Doubting him much -- but what would you? You have to be sure of your man
Ere you wake up that nest-ful of hornets -- the little brown men of Japan.

Down in the ooze and the coral, down where earth's wonders are spread,
Helmeted, ghastly, and swollen, Kanzo Makame lies dead.
Joe Nagasaki, his "tender", is owner and diver instead.

Wearer of pearls in your necklace, comfort yourself if you can.
These are the risks of the pearling -- these are the ways of Japan;
"Plenty more Japanee diver plenty more little brown man!"

According to OED, the definition of 'Yellow' referring to people of Asian descent, goes back to at least 1787, while 'Yellow' referring to cowardice or being craven goes back to 1856 in earliest recorded usage.

Funnily enough, Japanese and Chinese people actually refer to themselves as 'yellow'. Not so sure about Koreans but I imagine it's the same there too.

I wasn't saying that the term yellow does not have racist implications, I was stating that it has been aprox 40 years since I have known anyone to use it in that way. I'm also not denying it is still used in other cultures today. The White Australia policy was completely dismantled 40 years ago too, modern maybe, history for sure. The people I associate with would not stand for that type of behaviour. Guess that culture may still exist down here with the "houso's" crowd, but I have not witnessed it.
And the poetry you quoted is how old now, the poet died in 194

[BoganGod]

The poem I quoted, regardless of age is by one of the top two Australian poets of all time.
Yes some asians refer to themselves as yellow. One of the best insults I've heard.

Calling an asian a banana, only yellow on the outside......

Funnily enough, Japanese and Chinese people actually refer to themselves as 'yellow'. Not so sure about Koreans but I imagine it's the same there too.

Yeah and white people aren't actually white. The same can be said of all skin colours.

I just mean that in the West everyone freaks out about it like it's a terrible thing to say, when in fact yellow people describe themselves as 'yellow' and see nothing wrong with it.

Y'all say it as a matter of fact. Westerners say it with a negative connotation (usually).
