India encompasses a broad array of features and ethnicities. It's not all Bollywood. Some can have very dark skin, others can have nearly European paleness.

What do you mean by Indians?
Indians are not. When technically classified into a race, they are Asian.
Native Americans are their own race.
Your term for "indians" is also used as a term for people of mixed race, especially in Africa, so yes in some places "indian" means partially white.

Which kind of Indians? The ones from India, or the various tribes of native Indians on each continent?

I seen many white Africans that are whiter then whites here and they have the same figures as most whites I no longer go with whoes white or not I just say we are all humans makes it easier. But its up to them if they were white I don't think they would lose there land to other whites.

They were referred to as "red" in the past. They are a separate race, Native Americans. PC

I'm east indian...
And, yeah I have noticed that also. And, they are their own race.
*edit
They are indo-aryan. If you look into india's history there was an influence of European people back in the olden days.

some are and some are not! Some Mexicans look white as well! Sometimes color has nothing to do with race!
