If you go all the way to the end of the rainbow, I'm sure all you will see is the brown eye of the Leprecon instead of this pot of gold they tell me that is there.
So you are wrong!

The rainbow is a natural phenomena caused when white light-like sunlight-passes through a refractor, like a prism or a raindrop. Racism has nothing to do with it--there have been rainbows for as long as there has been rain and sunlight or crystals.
The longest wavelengths are the blues, indigos, purples, ultraviolets; the shorter ones oranges, reds and infareds.
Browns is actually a combination of these colors. When light is reflected back to you from a tree, you are seeing what that surface has not absorbed.

Brown is not 'mentioned' in the rainbow because the rainbow is not a device (such as a book or a video) than can 'mention' anything. It only mirrors a reflection.
Now, if you have worded your question something like:
"Why isn't brown not included in ..."
or
"Why is brown not visible in the rainbow?"
(But it was a cute, fun question.)

Maybe it's because brown isn't in a real rainbow. And no, it's not a little unfair.

Have you not heard of primary colors in school? A lot of things in life are unfair so get used to it as it gets much worse regardless of who you are. And for goodness sake don't go around looking for others to blame.

Because it doesn't fit under ROY G BIV. If it went in the B spot it would be kicking blue out and we don't want that. Its just not a bright color that could possibly be led to a pot of gold.

Yeah, I guess it is a little unfair...and gray is feeling kind of left out, too. It's one of my favorite colors...next to blue of course. What melancholy girl doesn't like blue?

Now people are claiming that physical properties are biased? Gimme a break. Prejudice is an unfortunate human condition, it is not a symptom of nature.
