Title
Banana Blog - the voice of the jook sing generation
Description
This blog was inspired by the book Banana Boys by Terry Woo. It is intended to be a forum to discuss the unique lives of Chinese-Canadians and the social challenges they face as they straddle two different cultures.
I am a banana/jook sing and I can't read the Chinese text just below the title. What does it say?
A banana is a tropical fruit that is yellow on the outside and white on the inside. When applied to the context of a person, it means the person is yellow on the outside and white on the inside. In other words, the person is Chinese in appearance, but is basically no different than your average gway lao (white guy).
