Any Asians here? I want to ask a question about Asians and skin color.

I'm going to ask some Hispanics if they object to being called orange.

Don't you want to know if Caucasians object to being called pink?

In the book Shogun the women are described as having ivory skin. I know because I just looked it up. I don't remember any Asians complaining about that reference.

@Butrflynet,

A lot of Australian Aboriginals refer to caucasians as 'ghosts' because of their colour. Apropos of nothing the Arnhem Land Yolgnu refer to half-castes as 'yella fellas' (yellow fellows), and mentally place them socially below caucasians.

That's not gammin.

I am Asian, if you really want to call by skin. Asians have most natural skin color. So call us Natural color. Because the color of the ground and sun are our skin colors so natural color is the best

@beibarys,

Do you consider other people to have unnatural skin. What color is the ground? What color is the sun? What about Mars? Is Mars natural? Mars is red.

@Green Witch,

jgoldman asked for an Asian's opinion, beibarys gave one, I have no desire to pick beibarys opinion to pieces, it's just an opinion (although if we ever meet I hope I'm wearing sunglasses - skin the colour of the sun?)

Besides - you're green.

@beibarys,

I'm not calling people out by skin-I'm describing it.

I think this girl's response was sufficient.

A Chinese girl is describing her skin and her sister's as beige skin.

@JGoldman10,

nothing wrong. it is fine with color does not matter for me. unless u are speaking it in aggressive way. in my country skin is not important at all, we don't care about skin. But if someone says bad word about ur relative (parents, sister etc) that is the baddest thing u can say. For example back in days people will kill if some one says for example motherF..... (sorry for bad word).

Okay, beige isn't offensive. Is orange an offensive term?

NO ONE HAS ORANGE SKIN. OFFENSIVITY DOESN'T EVEN ENTER IN. ORANGE IS NOT A COLOR SKIN CAN BE. We are all various shades of brown, light to dark. Look at this site. The area where there are no words is white. Nobody has skin that color.

Yes-beige is a light brown. Are you aware of the fact beige and orange are related?
