Why aren’t Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, Vietnamese or Korean women etc called white when they have a very similar skin tone to European people?

Because when describing people colour we don't tent to just refer to people by skin colour u wouldn't call a albino black person white

The average Asian has darker skin then the celebrities you see on Asian tv shows. It’s a yellowish tan colour, and the models use artificial products or make up to look pale.

Other traits (mostly slanted eyes) prove they're not "white".

Because white supremacist don't want to be associate with these kind of people.

Also Asian and European people are different in some genetic aspects.

Because they're not. And by the way, skin bleaching is very common amongst East Asia, many of them have a natural tan also.

Europeans referred to East Asians as white until the end of the 18th century
