Side issue, but I grew up in Sweden thinking asians have yellow skin. After living and working with asians for decades in the Bay area, I have yet to meet a yellow one. To my eye, they're on the same white(pink)-brown-black spectrum as the rest of humanity. |

White people are pale to darkly tanned
Natives Americans are brown, not red
Black people are brown, not black, some not even very brown
Indian people are shades of brown too, and yet can be far darker than "black" people.
Japanese people are brown, not yellow
None of the colloquial color terms for races are accurate when you sit down and think about it.
The one time it might have been accurate is redheads are often pale enough to be white, so of course we call them gingers/redheads.
It's all a bit silly.
