Well, most oriental Asians are called yellow because they have a white-yellowish skin tone and it is slightly different from Europeans. Also, Asians are not called yellow people because of the rest of the people in Asia that are not yellow. For example, Indians or people from Portugal have brown skin.

Why are asians called yellow race when no ones been found to have yellow skin only olive white to dark brown?
German professor Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840), one of the founders of what is referred to as "scientific racism", devised the 5-color racial typology for humankind (e.g., black people, white people). From this source came the category of yellow or Mongoloid race, in which Oriental Asians are placed.

None of these are actually these colours.
