I never made that connection, thought it was a shape thing (oh and the red shirt). But I never saw asian people as yellow, and don’t understand that remark. An asian friend of mine once jokingly referred to herself as a banana, but then had to explain the joke to me.
Whether you personally are caught up or not it still has a deep history in anti-asian racism. Depictions of asians as yellow is a classic hallmark of anti-asian racism.

Are you kidding right now or seriously asking how portraying an Asian person as yellow is racist?
