Bananas and Coconuts

Me: “If a Chinese person who think he’s white is a banana ââ¬â white on the inside, yellow on the outside ââ¬â and an Indian person who does the same is called a coconut ââ¬â brown on the outside, white on the inside… what does that make someone who’s yellow outside and brown inside?”
Z: “Rotten banana?”
Me: “Ouch.”

I did not say ‘rotten’. I said ‘oxidised’.

On the same thread, what about about a white person who thinks he’s asian? - Hard boiled egg!

So you could either be a single durian seed or an uh, oxidised banana. Depends on shape and squishiness, I guess.
