The word banana is only used for overseas Chinese who are associating themselves more with Caucasians (culture) than with their own race, meaning lack of knowledge of Chinese history, tradition, culture despite being Chinese. At the same time it can also be applied to Mr Locke, because he is just another US government mouthpiece criticizing China for not respecting human rights in his departing speech. Chinese people don't use banana to refer other overseas South East Asians, Koreans or Japanese because we don't care about them talking sh!t about their own countries or whether they identify themselves more with Caucasian cultures rather than their own kind. Plenty overseas Chinese even admit being a banana and not feeling any racism at all because they know it's the truth. But Gambit here just want to link that word with racism because Mr Lock (a US government employee) is being called a rotten banana while he doesn't care about other overseas Chinese being referred as banana.
