how come (asian) Indians aren't called black like black people?

Question

They are both brown right?

Yeah all albinos are considered white

i would rather call black people brown but somebody would question me

Answer 1

they're called brownies

Answer 2

Trust me.....being called black isn't the greatest thing in the world mate.......oh and for the idiots who said they are dark skinned Caucasians.....your an idiot. Indians are not dark skin Caucasians you twit. That's like putting the Caucasian race on a pedestal and saying everyone just got darker from there(by the way getting that much darker would kill you literally.......that kind of sun exposure would annihilate you so there's no way they are dark Caucasians.) Oh and that statement you said why aren't Indians called black people like black people? Why are we black people and not African Americans? There are some with dark skin and some with lighter skin, if you must call us black people at least make sure we actually have dark skin close enough to the color black.

Answer 3

These indians may not be called black, but they are!! They really don't want that label, so they go into a
denial stage!! I DARE YOU ALL TO READ THEbible where they were trying to build a tower into the heavens! God scattered them all over the land andnot a one of them could speak the language that they spoke before. So in theology classes
we learned that from God doing this,
people were spread out all over the
place, the equator, a place called the rising son which would be CHINA. That is a reason why there eyes are like there. God made everyone beautiful in him!

Answer 4

Because, anthropologists and geneticists have decided that the Indians are caucasians. They are the darkest skinned of the caucasian peoples, but they are considered white, not black or brown!

Answer 5

People see colors and love to label people by their appearances, I always wondered why they call Indians Red men, kind of ignorant.

Answer 6

Because they aren't black that are Indians and that's why they are called indians

Answer 7

They aren't called black because they are very dark skinned Caucasians, like Europeans who live in a very sunny climate.

So they are not "black" even though their skin is dark.

Answer 8

Because they are Indian and not black.
