Understood. And I’m pointing out an example that makes it obvious how yellow is clearly white adjacent.

In a fictive show. Except if you’re arguing that Simpsons is part of US culture. But Unicode is international.

I understand that it’s fiction. But they choose yellow for white people because it’s white adjacent, and it stands out. No one is confused that these are white people. No one watches the Simpsons and is honesty confused as to what race they are supposed to be.
