Who started this 'east asians are yellow' thing? I litterally just can't see any difference in skin color between "whites" and "east asians".

There are some Asians that look yellow.
It's there, and it's a distinct coloration unique to Asians. While they may not all be yellow, generalizations will portray them as such.

But most han chinese are in fact yellow tier

WE WHITE NOW

It's when they tan. Pale Asians and pale whites can be the same color, but when they tan, they become two different colors, whites leaning towards reddish brown, and Asians leaning towards yellow.

I don't think east asian are yellow most of them have olive skin I think

99% of Chinese people that I've seen have yellow skin

...

the average shade of white among whites is about as fair as east asians can get. average shade of east asian skin is closer to hispanics and turks

This, they're obviously yellow.

Yeah fer sure Asians look like brits

they are yellow though

Don't they refer to themselves as yellow-skinned? On a few occasions I've seen this.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFRt, have you ever seen a white person or an asian person jamal ?

i am asian retard

Do you understand the concept of lighting? They're in fucking yellow light you primitive retards.

Probably themselves. The Chinese called themselves the yellow people for thousands of years.

Southeast Asians are yellow brown.

East are pale yellow.

Whites are pale white.

But it's mostly stereotyping.

That's whiter than the average Irish.

>The Chinese called themselves the yellow people for thousands of years.

I've heard tan but never yellow.

It's the Yellow River. Not the people, you dumb lard.

They have
I've been studying Chinese at university and multiple native Chinese lecturers have said this

>I litterally just can't see any difference in skin color between "whites" and "east asians".

The man in your picture is clearly brownish

asians are beige, whites are pink

Well, tell that to my fucking Chinese history professor you punk.

some color blind person. calling east asians skin color "yellow" is actually nothing but awkward as fuck. if the skin color was not on a human body and instead was on some other living thing, no one would call it "yellow".

Whites: baek-in (백인) (white person)
Niggers: heug-in (흑인) (black person)
Asians: hwang-in (황인) (yellow person)

...

It was coined by colonist whites, who wanted to feel superior. They felt the need to establish us as yellow, even though we essentially share the same skin colour.

>Huang (yellow) is a common surname, but does not refer to the East Asian race as was popular in Western languages until recently. However, the Yellow Emperor was a legendary founder of China. Yellow is also identified with the "center" cardinal direction (blue-east, red-south, white-west, black-north) while China is known as Zhongguo "middle kingdom".

Also, pic extremely related. Chinese could call themselves neon green for all I care, but they are as pale and "white" as most whites.

I'm not really good at colour correction but this might he more realistic.

She's wearing makeup. Look at her arms. That's the natural skin color for asians. Also, most asian girls will deliberately try to avoid getting tan because they prefer the pale look.

I realize that.

fuck i'm just korean it doesn't matter even if i have the whiter skin

I look like I have jaundice not even kidding

Posting the non shopped version

I have too pale skin that makes it absolute harsh torture to go outside during summer

I look horribly red and burned even after several hours under spring sunshine if not for sunscreen and shades

Isn't Austria whiter?

Yellow reminds Chinese of porn stuff tho

t. weeaboo

Living inside your basement makes you whiter indeed. I'm surprised too.

>using outdated terminology

Choose modern color terms goys

Maybe it's Also, if even some happened to be, it could be a way of stereotyping similar to the representation a "white" (european) person as blond, that I've seen sometimes. Blondes are a minority, but even if not all "whites" are blondes, all blondes are white. Same with asians: not every asian is yellow, but every yellow person is asian. Just a random idea.

>Germanics are pink
>Mediterraneans are olive
>Slavs are white

Shit map. Southern Chinese are dark as fuck.

>Indigenous Tasmanians
