    'The Yellow Bullet'
    Liu Xiang, a high hurdler, has proved what many Chinese have long felt was not possible: that yellow men can jump, and sprint, too.

    What's wrong with it? White men, Black men, Yellow men...I dont see any problem with it. It's not like the term is degrading or something.

    Don't know, I don't like the term "yellow" for people. It is inaccurate and also associated with some diseases.

    Not in part 3. "chicken" i imagine wasn't around back when, so they used "yella".
