Reply:i believe it goes back in time, something to do with their diet. the kind of food they eat got into the blood stream. if a white person eats alot of carrots, their skin turns orange. i know that sounds false and fake but look it up on the internet. i mean alot of carrots. the orange color goes away, but i think with asian people way back yonder their diet had stuff in it that caused them to have a yellow tint to their skin, and it stayed in the blood and got passed on from generation to generation.

Reply:Maybe because of the sun.. Idk
Reply:the yellowish color is caused by the pigment in the skin. there are three different types of pigment and one of them, I believe it is Carotene is more yellowish in color, Asians have a higher amount of it in their skin causing their skin to appear more yellow.
Reply:genetics... its kinda complicated. One because of evolutionary process and the climate conditions in central asia. The second reason is because of a thing called a continous trait when it comes to skin pigmentation that cause this gradient of skin colours amoung humans.
Reply:Only Chinese do,


Japanese and Koreans vary
Reply:Does it really matter what color skin we have? We are all humans, and God created us equal.

Reply:Oxyhaemoglobin and reduced haemoglobin, carotene pigments and most significantly melanin levels determine skin colour. The particular levels of these major pigment groups in the skin of asian people determines their skin colour.





As for why they have yellow skin; partly due to natural selection during the evolutionary period of that racial group, maybe partly to do with sexual selection and maybe partly to do with random genetic drift.
