Yellow or Brown

[Focker]

Any Taiwanese/Chinese up in here? this yellow or brown peeps?

[kasia]

what's brown? mexican?

[ChinaLama]

brown..i guess mexicans count, but maybe re: asians, more like indians and filipinos. or are indians "white" (they were in the weird science of the 19th and early 20th century).

[kasia]

i knew what he meant. i was just referring back to our whole..."are asians really yellow" discussion.

[ChinaLama]

oh...well of course we're yellow! because we Chinese are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor (Huang Di). And every Asian and every PERSON is really Chinese deep down inside. It's kinda like how missionaries say everyone has a sense of God in them, well everyone has a Chinese gene. Even those barbarians from Europe--although I suspect they're crossbred w/ neanderthals.

whatever dude.

I think of myself as yellow, but I look more white. So... I'm gonna vote white.

defining for herself how she will be labeled. :wink: i like that.

i'm more brown in color, but i have a reddish yellow tinge to my skin color.
and what are you talking about the Chinese thing? We're all supposed to be Africans, not Chinese. And were Chinese people even called Chinese back then ?

Great point.

The brown part was to signify how pinos were called "little brown brothers" by all their conquerers. I guess you can group indians with them, but should indians have their own special color?

[ChinaLama]

The Africa thing is a lie! a lie i tell you! Being Chinese is like finding a spiritual calling, just look deep inside for the Chinese-ness w/i all of you!

but seriously, i dunno. Scientists say we all come fr Africia, the Bible says Eden was where the Euphrates starts (so I'm assuming maybe Turkey?) and I dunno any other theories. Maybe we were aborted experiments dropped by aliens on their way to another planet.

I always thought I was more tan/pink than either white or yellow. My desk is white. My walls are white. If I saw someone who was really white, I'd think he was a cadaver. That aside, I consider myself yellow 'cause there're too many negative connotations to being "white."
