Your accent says more than what you’re willing to say. Meet Alice and Catherine, two anthropologists (well, one actual anthropologist and one aging graduate student) whose entire purpose in life is to describe and deconstruct other people-types. But as you’d expect, they find themselves obsessing over their own sociocultural categories instead – working-class or elite, Chinese American or Taiwanese American – and if you can hear it from the way(s) they talk.

WHY ASIANS ARE YELLOW-SKINNED
Some people find yellow an offensive or racist term to describe Asians for various reasons.
"Asians are not actually yellow!"
"Hey, Asians aren’t cowards!"
"There is no ONE Asian colour!"
"Did you know Yellow or Yellow Peril is rooted in historical irrational racist perceptions, that the West had for the East?"
"Labels divide people. We need fewer labels, not more!"
And then there’s the other viewpoint, that 'Yellow' isn’t offensive:
"Why is calling someone white or black not racist, but then when you call them yellow, all of a sudden..."
"Yellow just describes ones' appearance, like calling someone skinny, short, tall, dark-haired…"
"...but Asians actually have a yellow hue to them!"
"Cmon, Asians even call themselves yellow!"
Actually that last one is interesting. Do Asians themselves find Yellow offensive?
Well understandably there are South East Asians, Indians, Afghans, Iraqis who find it offensive because they are far from yellow. But I think, in saying yellow, most people are referring to East Asians anyway.
So do EAST Asians find Yellow offensive?
Recently Apple angered many Asian people by their creation of yellow-shaded emojis, part of their attempt at racial emoji diversity - and many Asians took to Twitter to voice their concerns.
But, hey wait, I’ve heard Asians refer to themselves as Yellow too.
"Yellow Power!"
"Everyone’s got yellow fever!"
"Check out the yellow bullet! (Liu Xiang, Gold Medalist)
"...one of China’s legendary cultural heroes, The Yellow Emperor."
Okay, so the jury is still out on just how offensive it is; but who do we blame for all of this?
Some think it’s to do with the fact that Asian civilisation first developed around the Yellow River in China.
But after doing some research, I found this guy, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840) - a German naturalist, physiologist and anthropologist who was the first to explore the study of mankind as an aspect of natural history.
He came up with the five color typology for humans - the white race (Caucasians), the black race (sub-Saharan Africans), the brown race (Pacific Islanders), the red race (American Indians) and of course, the yellow race (East Asians).
And ever since then, the idea of Asians as yellow has been ingrained in our heads. Look no further than the Power Rangers. Specifically, the yellow power ranger.
Going back to the original question - Why are Asians yellow? (or yellowish)
The answer, is genetic. But more specifically, Asians have more carotene pigments in their skin, and carotene imparts a yellowish coloration.
Also Asians have a low body mass index (BMI) but higher body fat percentage; and much of this fat lies just under their skin. Fat tends to be yellowish in nature, so Asian skin often looks yellowish.
In comparison, Caucasians have less carotene and a much thinner layer of fat under their skin; so they’re less yellowy and more white.
At the end of the day, personally, I don’t really take much offence to being referred to as yellow. But then again, I do make videos on youtube about sensitive racial matters, so I do have to have thick skin (under which there is a layer of yellow fat).
Whatever color we are, it doesn’t really matter. We’re all the same. We are all interchangeable.
Especially when it comes to The Simpsons, the show where white people are yellow, and yellow people are white.

เปิดตัว The new 2019 Honda Civic (ฮอนด้า ซีวิค) โฉมใหม่ล่าสุด รุ่นไมเนอร์เชนจ์ มีอะไรใหม่ให้มาบ้าง?
Honda เปิดตัว Civic ใหม่รุ่นปี 2019 ในอเมริกา ทั้งเวอร์ชั่นซีดานและคูเป้ โดย Civic เจนเนอเรชั่นที่ 10 รุ่นนี้ มาพร้อมรูปโฉมที่ได้รับการปรับเปลี่ยนใหม่ มีการเพิ่มรุ่น Sport เข้าไป เป็นอีกหนึ่งทางเลือก และติดตั้งระบบ Honda Sensing ในทุกรุ่นย่อย
ในอเมริกา Civic เป็นรถยนต์ที่ขายดีที่สุด 3 ปีซ้อน และเป็น compact car ที่ขายดีที่สุด 8 ปีติดต่อกัน รวมถึงการเป็นรถที่ได้รับความนิยมสูงสุด ของกลุ่มลูกค้าที่มีอายุต่ำกว่า 35 ปี ยาวนานถึง 8 จาก 9 ปีที่ผ่านมา
Building on the highly acclaimed 10th-generation Civic lineup and offering customers more of what they love about the model, the refreshed 2019 Honda Civic Sedan and Coupe include updated styling, a new Sport trim for both body styles and standard Honda Sensing® technology on all trims.
The updated Civic Sedan and Coupe are the latest salvos in the 10th-generation Civic's aggressive launch cadence that has averaged a new variant every four months over the past three years since the Civic Sedan launched in the fall of 2015.1Civic is targeting its third consecutive year as America's #1 retail-selling car and its 8th straight year as America's #1 retail-selling compact car2, as well as being the most popular car in America with under-35-year-olds for eight of the past nine years.
The 10th-gen Civic's aggressive and sporty design is one of the most liked attributes among Civic buyers3 and the Civic Coupe was the top ranked vehicle of its body type in the J.D. Power's 2017 APEAL study among compact cars. The 2019 Sedan and Coupe turn it up a notch with evolutionary styling updates, front and rear. Changes at the front further accentuate the model's low and wide athletic stance and sporty good looks with a new piano black upper fascia "wing," restyled lower fascia, bumper and lower grille, a full-width front splitter, chrome side pod accents, and updated halogen or LED headlights. A chrome accent on the lower rear bumper of the Sedan and new wheel designs for both models – including larger 18-inch rims on the Touring trim – round out the exterior styling updates on the returning trims.
The new Civic Sport trim, positioned between the LX and EX, offers the looks and features budget-conscious enthusiasts are looking for. Civic Sport's increased attitude comes from a piano black lower front fascia, side pod accents and, for Sedan, an added rear decklid spoiler, plus a splitter-style rear lower bumper incorporating a chrome polygonal exhaust finisher similar to Civic Si. Larger 18-inch (+1 inch) 10-spoke alloy wheels with Berlina Black finish complete the Sport's more aggressive look. The Sport trim features a high-revving 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC® engine mated to either a smooth and efficient CVT with G-Shift Control or a slick-shifting 6-speed manual. Adding more tech to the Sport, the new trim receives the updated 7-inch Display Audio with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration and volume button.
Advancing Honda's commitment to make Honda Sensing® standard equipment on all vehicles by the 2022 model year, all trims of the 2019 Civic Sedan and Coupe from LX to Touring feature Honda Sensing® technology, which includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning; Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) incorporating Lane Departure Warning (LDW); Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS); and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). For the 2019 model year, Honda Sensing® is standard or available equipment on all Honda car and light truck nameplates.
First introduced in the fall of 2015 in Sedan and later Coupe form, the 10th-generation Civic lineup includes the European-inspired Hatchback, the performance-focused Civic Si Coupe and Si Sedan and the world's fastest front-wheel-drive car, the Civic Type R. Cumulative sales of the 10th-generation Civic will surpass 1 million units this year. Since its introduction, the 10th-generation Civic has amassed dozens of major industry awards and accolades including the 2016 North American Car of the Year award, 2017 Kelley Blue Book Overall Best Buy of the Year, 2018 Car and Driver 10Best and 2018 AUTOMOBILE All-Stars award. All Civic Sedan and Coupe models sold in the U.S. are produced at Honda's plants in Greensburg, Indiana and Alliston, Ontario. The Civic's 1.5-liter Dual VTC Turbo and 2.0-liter i-VTEC® engines are produced in Anna, Ohio and Alliston, Ontario.

เปิดตัว 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback (โตโยต้า โคโรลล่า แฮทช์แบ็ค) ดีไซน์ใหม่หมดทั้งคัน ฟังค์ชั่นล้ำสมัยมาครบ
NEW YORK, March 23, 2018 – Talk about going big in the Big Apple! For the first time in North America, Toyota’s newest, stylish, and most technologically-advanced small car, the all-new 2019 Corolla Hatchback, makes its debut at the New York International Auto Show.
Don’t let its diminutive dimensions fool you – the hatchback, in either SE or XSE grades, is all about making a huge impression. With its lengthy list of standard features that includes Entune 3.0 with Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa Connectivity; a revised sport-tuned suspension and new Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform; and the first North American application of Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, Corolla Hatchback strikes a resounding chord with drivers who value authenticity, utility, practicality, and style.
Hot hatch? More like Haute Hatch.
Indomitable Style
Corolla Hatchback has flair extraordinaire. With a theme of Shooting Robust, along with a design goal of Agile, influencing their every pen stroke, designers created a form that is simultaneously distinct, dynamic, muscular, and sophisticated. Shooting references the design’s sport coupe traits implemented in all facets.
With those concepts in mind, Corolla Hatchback is a meticulously mixed cocktail of emotive lines, creases, and surfaces. It’s lower (by 1.0 in.), wider (by 1.2 in.), and longer (by 1.5 in.) than its predecessor, Corolla iM. It also has wider front and rear tracks, and a longer wheelbase.
Its hood sits two inches lower than before, affording passengers excellent forward visibility. The new frontal styling with a rounded nose and trapezoidal-shaped under grille is a further evolution of Toyota’s Under Priority Catamaran and Keen Look design philosophies, both of which emphasize Corolla Hatchback’s increased width.
Slim, J-shaped Bi-Beam LED headlamps wrap deep into the front fenders and accent the front in both stylishness and precise illumination. Front overhang has been cut by 0.8 inches; at the rear, it’s 0.8 inches longer. Chiseled character lines at its profile link both ends’ protruding flanks making for an active, well-planted expression that is uncommon amongst its peers. Wheel sizes range from 16-inches to 18-inches in diameter.
Its new rear style articulates Corolla Hatchback’s overarching emphasis on athletic presence. The relationship between front and rear design is closely aligned given the rear’s more rounded physique that encompasses simple, condensed, yet powerful, three-dimensional landscapes. Its hatch – now made from TSOP (Toyota Super Olefin Polymer) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) – is not only lightweight to aid fuel efficiency, it is set at a steeper angle (moved 14 degrees forward) for that ultimate sporty look. The rear all-LED taillamps feature a diffusing inner lens designed to highlight the hatchback’s stout stance. And the rear bumper styling echoes the frontal Under Priority Catamaran design with its thin lower lip and chrome diffuser.
Differentiation between SE and XSE is distinct. Both grades receive LED headlamps and taillights, chrome rear diffuser, and alloy wheels. XSE ups the ante with 18-inch wheels, LED fog lights, chrome front grille surround, and an available innovative Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS). AFS – available only on XSE CVT – allows for the focused distribution of light in an area that matches the vehicle’s speed and steering angle. The Bi-Beam LED units move vertically and horizontally to provide optimal light output by analyzing steering angle, vehicle speed, and the vehicle’s longitudinal axes angle to adjust lamps.
