The YELLOW Line To Doraville .... or Asia? (Brown, Chicago, community)

[KevK]

Now a new controversey here in Atlanta. Atlanta wants to follow the lead of other cities like Chicago and start using colour codes for their subway lines. I guess this helps non English speakers get on the correct trains. But then they named the line to Doraville- home to lots of Asian people- The YELLOW line. Of course it has caused upset!

That got me to thinking, why not name ALL the lines for the neighbourhoods they serve?

The west line to Adamsville becomes the BLACK line
The North line to Dunwoody becomes the WHITE line
The South line to the airport becomes the BROWN line
The East line through Reynoldstown and Decatur becomes the PINK line (gays)
And if we get any Indians we will have a RED line!

Political correctness at its finest. Are people really that offended by a color?!

PS. (I think the gay color would be purple, not pink btw).

I know. It is silly.

kevk I say you settle it by having any group complaining handed the bill for their color of choice. That should shut them up quick.
