No-one except bigots classifies people by the apparent colour of their skin. East Asians are not "classified as yellow" and haven't been for decades except in a very few countries. If you are Japanese, that's fine. I don't need to know precisely what shade of colour your skin appears to be, it doesn't make any difference.
