Skin colour is simply an adaptation to the climate. Sub-Saharan Africans, Austrialian Aborigines and various Oceanic people tend to be black because they get a lot of sunlight, while Europeans are generally white due to less sunlight exposure.

You cannot determine someone's nationality solely based on their appearance. It is important to remember that physical features do not indicate a person's country of origin or ethnicity.

Why do some Jews have yellowish skin?

Jews do not have yellow skin. That is just what the Nazis said to help their propaganda. They can only have yellow skin if they are Mongolian. More to the point, a Jew could have yellowish skin for EXACTLY the same reasons that a non-Jew could have yellow skin (liver issues, lack of hygiene, being of a specific genetic makeup, etc.). Having a yellowish skin is in no way attributable to being Jewish, either by genetics or behavior.
