Problems faced by 'Bananas' ie. some Chinese, as in 'yellow on the outside and white inside'

From Cilisos:


'Happy Chinese New Year, ugaiz!!!
Now, if you didn’t already know, a coupla weeks ago, we ran a quick contest with the ONGSOME Smirnoff Ice to find out what are some of the problems faced by bananas during CNY.
As this is the Chinese New Year, we thought of talking about a part of the Chinese community that isn’t always acknowledged, the BANANAs – Chinese people who cannot speak the Chinese language.. Cos like, yellow on the outside and white on the inside, mah.'
