What will our little yellow friends think of next?

Very clever

Are we meant to call them yellow these days? Genuine question although I suspect not...

IIRC that's actually a Swedish/Danish/German (or something) invention - there was a youTube clip around sometime last year (year before?) of it in use.

It must weigh a fair bit

Well if you're going to have a bike that looks like a transformer it's a step up if it actually is a transformer.

Something of that ilk has been in use on the A1M around newcastle for a while now, looks weird seeing a bike towing a car

Dunno, are we still OK with being called white?

I am for what its worth.

As Steve Biko once said; no you're not, you're pink.

TBH I feel slightly uncomfortable referring to people as 'yellow' in that context. Although 'black' and 'white' seem ok (even if neither is black nor white). What's that all about?

I know what you're saying but I'm not quite sure where it will all end. Swear words have just about ceased to be shocking and we are now creating new swear words.

It probably won't ever end, but that's no reason to contest current offensive words. Calling someone a cunt, isn't racist. Calling them a yellow cunt, is, imo. Referring to someone as yellow, isn't exactly pc, but arguably isn't racist either. Although, personally, I'd not call an asian yellow, out of respect. Others may disagree.
