Trivia

• "Banana" is a derogatory term given to peoples of Asian ancestory who live a "western" or "caucasian" lifestyles.
• The episode name is a play on the punchline "Orange you glad I didn't say banana?".
• Something very similar allegedly happened in real life in the 2007 (two years after the episode aired), wherein a former Laotian general living in America and his cadre were charged with buying military weapons, rockets, mines, etc. in order to go back to Laos and overthrow the communist government (it is illegal in itself for Americans to attack a neutral country). His views gained a lot of sympathy and their charges were eventually dropped and recognition given to the widespread humanitarian issues in Laos.
