How did this 'yellow' stereotype originate anyway? confused
Well for one thing, I know that The Simpsons are yellow. xd

We are referred to yellow at points, but it's not as common as blacks and whites. We're more of the "Asians," which we are.. ahaha, I don't make sense, ignore me.

Not all white people are 'white' and black people are definately not 'black' but i hardly hear them correcting it. It's just that I read somewhere in some publication 'white, black, Asian American, Latino American...etc' It's just odd that caucasians and african americans were referred as colors but the others were not.

I just picked yellow since when one hears Asian or Asian American in the US they think of Eastern countries like China, Japan and these Asians generally have yellow undertones. I'm aware there are other types of Asians. I just didn't elaborate enough in the first post.

I suppose it's because Asians are still recent immigrants but I wanna know what others think about this. That's all..

Here's a new little scenario for you peeps...

There's this short half-Asian guy in my music and phys.ed class...
And he says that I'm half Asian because I'm too brown to be full Asian...
T___T...

Asians aren't really yellow...I mean, I've never seen any asian that was the same colour as the Simpsons...and I guess white people aren't really white either. And black people aren't really black. I think the only correct colour naming is brown people, who are actually brown...

---------->

being reffered as 'asian' would be better. i don'tknow. maybe because im use to it. but then again. somtimes us asians are called 'c***k'

<----------

 

[AznCrackLord]

reppin ASIAN PRIDE  

[Yoko Hino]

I'm a brown asian XD  

[GirlFromOuterSpace]

I wouldn't want to be called yellow. XD It is weird that Asians don't get called by a color... and hopefully it'll stay that way. I'm not really yellow anyways, since I'm tanned being under the sun too much.

Besides those american would be fools if they think that all asians are yellow skin people but fo course asia consist more than china  

[ngy922]
