How does this plate get approved?
 

Amazingly, there doesn't seem to be a way to report inappropriate license plates online in CA.

Euro Fever for a European car?

Yellow Fever for a yellow car?

Double entendre for a yellow european car?

What outrage am I missing?

Yellow is derogatory slang for Asian/Chinese. Native Chinese speakers also have a hard time pronouncing the English "L", which often comes out as a soft "R".

I am surprised that got through on a CA plate… Looks like a letter has to be sent (really surprising there isn't at least an email address). This seems to be a violation of one of the CA rules -- personalized plates cannot have a "negative connotation to a specific group" per this Sacramento Bee article (which also has the address to send a complaint to…):

I still don't get it... Somebody help me out so I can be offended too

And yellow fever, specifically, is a fairly derogatory and dehumanizing term for an Asian fetish.

A license plate reference to yellow fever by itself would maybe just be gross and in poor taste, but with the Mickey Rooney-in-Breakfast-at-Tiffany’s accent (that ZBB explained) it’s just flat out racist. Like, by a lot.

I thought the first E was an f. Now I see where youre coming from

On something other than a European yellow car, I can buy it. On a yellow European car, that's an outrage looking for a reason. A cigar is just a cigar, sometimes. Especially when it's old white dudes living on the other side of the country from where the car is getting outraged. But, whatever.

I’m confused about what it being on a European car has to do with anything.

I’m also confused about why I shouldn’t call out racist bullshit. But whatever.

I don't get the outrage.

Replace the first 4 letters with a similar derivative of the N-word. Would you be outraged then?

This is just as bad, and is racist term derogatory to Asians. I may send a letter to the CA DMV also.
