I do find it a little bit amusing that the only people I've ever known to use the pejorative "yellow fever" were people of Asian descent.
I don't know. Different hypos are hard to parse. I just think the accent thing here is really over the line.

As far as license plates and governments, there's a fairly rich seam of First Amendment law on all of that. As with a lot of First Amendment law, the cases are sort of all over the map.

I tend to agree that the easiest/best thing to do is just get rid of vanity plates, because 99 percent of them are dumb, even if they aren't dumb and racist.

To replace the revenue lost, you should pay able to pay extra for a) a European sized plate, or b) no front plate.
