The term "banana" that has been used to describe myself and other Asian women like me who go out with "white" men. What is it? It is a derogatory term used to indicate that I am "yellow" on the outside and "white" on the inside. And for anyone who would attempt to tell me that the word is not meant in it's most derogatory, deameaning manner, please, save it.
