RE: I’m just saying what the slur was.

I realize that but realistically, why are they called “yellow” when their skin clearly isn’t?

Maybe some are yellowish, but not all.

Heck, some of them are WHITE than caucasians....

It's probably dietary. Minerals in the soil affecting skin pigmentation.

Your photo examples are, of course, somewhat atypical... :)

But Northeast Asians - especially women - have a cultural preference for appearing as pale-skinned as possible. Darker skin signifies that one is lower class, a farmer who spends too much time in the sun. Taller, paler Northeast Asians regard shorter, browner, Southeast Asians about the way white Boston liberals regard Mississippi rednecks and poor blacks.

Asians will inevitably be classified as "white" in the USA because they aren't big enough moochers to make reliable allies for the Left's other tribes. The spoils will not be shared.

They were called yellow because of the prevalance of hepatitis in 19th century China.
