Race isn't defined just by color (in the US). As you note many Asian people are fair skinned. Dyeing your skin has no impact on race in most people's eyes

Yet people still use terms like “white” “colored” and “brown”.
they might sound like they are referencing literal colors but they aren't. language is weird. not all "white elephants" are white. or even elephants.
