Now if brown people wanna be called south asian does that mean they wanna be more yellow than brown? It would be far from racism but rather discrimination based on the hierarchy of colors.

Do you mean harm when you refer to them as "brown"? Probably not
They will either accept you calling them brown or you will accept not using brown. Usually you'll accept them and not use the word brown but if it seems like they are requesting something like that burqa story then u tell them to eat a dick and say canada is a free country bitch
