Yellow

1. "As a member of a minority group everywhere in my country expect among family or thought the self- conscious effort to find other Asian Americans, I alternate between being conspicuous and vanishing, being stared at or looked through."

2.The article Yellow, is about a man who is of Asian American decent. He feels like he is stuck in the middle of the race discrimination. Meaning he knows that he is not black but he is also not white. He said that he stopped riding the bus, the day he got on and saw the other minorities sitting in the back, he did not know where he should sit because he was not black, but if he sat with the whites, they would get mad because he was not white but somewhere in the middle.

3. I wounder what would have happened if he sat some where in the middle of the bus? Would the blacks get mad, would the whites get mad, or both? Wu did not know the answer to this so he did not ride the bus, so that neither race would get upset by him.

4. I thought it was interesting that he could have sat where ever he wanted to being stuck in the middle, but I Wonder if the bus driver would have known? If I would have been put in that situation I would have sat in the middle of the bus one time and than I think I would have stopped riding the bus too, because it would make me uncomfortable not knowing where to sit on the bus and risking making someone mad.
