When I made Resident Alien in the year 2000, two members of my family
were resident aliens. As a young child, I remember a television
commercial reminding resident aliens to register at their local post
office. This commercial was a cartoon of walking stick figures. Today I
assume that using stick figures avoided choosing one specific type of
people to represent resident aliens. But as a child, it meant that
resident aliens were not real people - they were stick figures.Resident
Alien is based upon this childhood misconception along with my adult
experiences. For two reasons green became the base color's obvious
choice. First, the common belief that all aliens are green - and
second, all resident aliens receive a "green" card.
