Oh yes, I saw that panel! And then I wondered what they were singing. And yes, your post was very useful. XD I was basically like, Oh, duh, because I didn't really pick up on the usage of characters as such since I could read them. Which is why I am not always the best person to review certain books.
It was so great! I loved the Transformers motif in retrospect too. Though, not being familiar with L.A., the setting read as the Bay Area/SF/Oakland to me. I do know Yang named the high school after Pat Oliphant, who published a very racist cartoon about Asian Americans on the day that the school's zip code converts to.
