JamaisVu 681 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Slight golden undertones to the skin mixed with blatant intents of racial separation and racism that plagued "science" a couple of centuries ago. Initially, they were described as white, and then the description was changed down the line. Unless they happened to encounter a group that had really bad jaundice, I think they exaggerated the distinction to separate them from European Whites.

愛��る 627 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Asian people aren't literally yellow as in the sun is yellow. Nor are white people literally white as in a white sheet of paper. It's basically an approximation of hue, for lack of a better term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sane 16,342 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 They're called yellow because their skin is generally medium-light and warm in tone, so "yellow" is the basic color that most closely resembles it. It's the same reason why white people are called white even though they're not literally white, and black people are called black even though they're not literally black. It's an approximation.
