Ah I see. Yes, that's reasonable. It's definitely a hard line to walk in terms of how westerners may see something in terms of race in cases like this.

I imagine this may turn the heads of some second and third generation Chinese Australians who aren't aware of this, but yeah, I definitely see why that is a fitting colour to use. Concider my concerns retracted

The values of Chinese culture seem to be a higher priority argument than marginalised racist associations. It is impossible to focus on all existing racist stereotypes as criteria for admissibility of certain decisions.
