they shouldn't, it's not like they are black. I mean some of them are really dark but they don't have the African features. Maybe they are confusing race with color. It's kinda funny though.

They AREN'T BLACK!
They are Pacific Islanders with a different culture, background, history and a totally different origin. They even have different health problems because of where in the world they come from.
Blacks are descended from people whose most recent ancestors were from Africa, that is half a world away from the Pacific Islands. People from Jamaica don't like being lumped together with blacks, they are Jamaicans, not blacks! just ask them!
As for racial slurs when you use the wrong racial slur on someone you not only are insulting them, but you are lumping them in with the wrong category of people insulting yourself and showing off your own ignorance; which is where most prejudice comes from.
Your avatar could be used by a person who is black or Hispanic, or even an islander. So how would you feel it I called you a "stupid girl?" You aren't a girl, and I sound pretty stupid myself calling you a girl. I am only showing that I can't read a simple image correctly and determine that you are a man. I bet that makes you angry. I am not trying to insult you (or I would have used some real insulting words), I am just trying to illustrate an example. People hate stupidity in any form. The more you show it the more they hate you for it.

I would expect any decent, respectful, and intelligent person to be angered by such comments
