Minions are yellow mostly, I come to believe; and there are so many of them too! They do indeed remind me of Chinese who are spread all over the world and as you know, the latter are also deemed yellow by I don't know which smart aleck. There are very fair Chinese like American Chinese actress Chrystal Liu Yi Fei 刘亦菲 as well as dark Chinese like Hong Kong's Simon Yam Tat-wah 任達華 but they are neither considered white nor black. I remember in an old Hong Kong movie, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 80s star, Cherie Chung Chor-hung 鍾楚紅; wondered why the non-Chinese unlike the Chinese, are either born too dark like they are overbaked or too fair like undercooked; which probably give the impression that the Chinese have just the right skin colour. Quite a racist remark, don't you think?
