Color Coding

Over at Angry Asian Man: Atlanta's MARTA is color coding their lines. The line going through the Asian chunk of town will be called.....wait for it.....the Yellow Line.

This reminds me of the time I was a camp counselor and we color coded the teams. Camper were little kids so using primary colors made sense. 'cause you know they're innocent little kids. Red, Blue, and Yellow. Me, the only person of color in the ENTIRE department, was Yellow Team Leader. My timid barely out of teenage self decided to keep quiet. I can tell none of the other staff made the yellow connection. During the first week, one of my eight years-old campers said to his friends "We're the Yellow Team because our counselor is yellow."

Okay. We're changing to Gold Team next week.
