Of course, I never could figure out why Asian people were said to have "yellow skin". But then again, the whole skin color terminology is not accurate, anyway, so why single out "yellow" as not making very much sense when white, black, and red don't either..Race is cultural and not genetic.

Perhaps I should have posted this comment on the Skin color in songs and singer's names thread instead of this one. But while I love just about all of the lyrics of that "Some Children See Him" song, I'm not sure about that "skin of yellow hue" line. I wonder how Asians feel about being called "yellow" people? Or Indians {Native Americans? First Nation people?} feel about being called "Red" people or "Red skinned people"?
