I work with, and have a lot of friends of various skin tones. I call people with Indian origin brown, "darker skinned" individuals are black. I call them brown and black, and with this argument I asked them how they would describe themselves. Guess what: they call themselves black and brown. I asked if they would be offended if me, or anyone else called them brown or black, they said no. The only people I have ever met who were offended when I called black people black and brown people brown were white people. Are we all so careful about being racist now that we feel we can't say anything?
