Yeah, but the term "white" isn't used to make fun of white people the way that "yellow" is used to make fun of Asian people. Racist caricatures of Asian people are even drawn as yellow, and racist propaganda about Japanese people refers to their skin as "lemon yellow".
"White" is the preferred term for white people. The preferred term for Asian people is "Asian". Also, were you not listening? Asian people aren't yellow. Their skin isn't yellow.
I was listening, my point is white skin isnt white and black skin isnt black either.
I have never heard an Asian person teased by saying he's yellow. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen but by the same token you can't say that no white person has been teased by calling them white.
IIN for Asians to be offended if you refer to them as "yellow"?

Asian people aren't yellow, and calling them yellow is offensive. Stop it.

I'm not white, I'm peachy. Yet people call me white. I don't mind.
