One time, my anonymous friend who I’ll call “Schmodd” and I were over at his cousin’s house, and his cousin Ryan and his cousin’s best friend Mark were arsing around doing who remembers what idiot feats of Jackass-style straight boy strength, and Ryan challenged Mark to do something he didn’t want to do, prompting Ryan to say, “Yer yella,” to which Mark responded by bellowing, “YOUR MOM’S YELLOW!” right as Ryan’s mom walked into the room.
Schmodd and I told this story to our friends Dave and Agnieska, prompting Dave to laugh and Agnieska, who was a recent Polish immigrant, to ask, quite sincerely, “Why is that funny? Is his mom Chinese?”
A conversation about English language idioms and the inappropriateness of calling Asian people “yellow” ensued.
