Banana, oreos, and coconuts respectively mean Asians, African Americans, and Latino folks who identify themselves with inner Whiteness.
I wanted to bring up an interesting point: post-surgery, Boy Genius has a White facade. He seems to enjoy White privilege after all. But there are certain situations in which he has to prove his non-Whiteness or Korean-ness. Is he truly White? Or is he a "reverse banana"--White person with Asian self?
