Your country is an exception. The browns still make up the majority in that region, like indonesians and philippinos. And the majority of southeast asians in japan are philippinos, and in the eyes of the japanese, brown is the default for southeast asians, and so is south asia and latin america.
Also, I acknowledge that there are white skinned people in latine and southeast asia, but that's due to spanish or portugese blood in them (or recently, the nazis that escaped to latin america). They are a minority in SE asia and latin america, but they are overwhelmingly represented in the media and politics in some countries like philippines, mexico and brazil.
