        Let me rephrase that:

        Why aren’t they yellow?

          They are made to look like characters from the DLC Honest Hearts for the game Falllout New Vegas.

            Thank you. Did not know about that. I still don’t get why they’re not yellow anymore but nevermind.

          Bro, it’s a fallout meme. The characters in the game are white.

          The Simpsons family has literally never been represented as Asian, what are you talking about? They’re yellow because it’s the art style. Here, they’re washed out because it’s a different art style.

              It is the explanation. I thought the premise of the Simpsons as Asian would be a big enough sign that this is a question (why aren’t they yellow?) packaged as a ludicrous joke. I was wrong, apparently.

                This happens all the time. people not getting an obvious joke or not getting that it’s just an innocent joke. Already got myself banned from an instance for one of the most obvious dumb jokes one can find.

                  Especially when there’s potential for outrage

          They’re yellow because Matt Groening wanted people to think there was something wrong with their television sets.
