I know I'm certainly not blue or orange.

In places where I have lived, SE Asians were not considered "brown." That, when used at all, was a description of Arabs, Latinos, and Indians or Tamil.

Frankly, I've never lived around anyone who used color to describe any groups but black or white. Almost never heard anyone refer to Chinese as yellow, Indians as red, or any color associations with Pacific Islanders or Japanese.

I have a close friend from Thailand, and he's considerably more tan than most Vietnamese I've seen, but never heard him refer to himself as brown, nor have I thought of him so.

Wonder how many JUB members would be in the same boat. Despite the supposed accuracy of Wikipedia, I don't think that term is any more commonly defined than so-called "Asians" are as a racial "group."

Colors associated with races aren't particularly meaningful as they only address a stereotypical Chinese, Caucasian, African, etc. Those branded as "white" encompass the gamut from the Irish to the Greeks to the Basques.
 
I generally use brown to describe non-white. Anything else is too intellectual for my primitive brain.
 
In asian countries,
they called black people "black ghost" and white people "red hair" even their hair are not red.
 
Much of the West was shaped by 19th century concepts of races, so colors were not so much the thing as phenotypes by facial characteristics. Caucasians, Mongolians, Negroes, and others shared facial traits that made them grouped.

That pattern really struck me when I lived in Anchorage and it was often difficult to discern a Tongan from a Eskimo.

I've lived in Northern African countries and I assure you a lot of South East Asians are more brown than most Arabs, including my Lebanese grandpa.

I too have friends in Thailand and Vietnam, I invite them over every year, and when I tell them they have such beautiful brown skin, they take it as a compliment. One also proudly calls himself the brownest in the family.

My anecdotal evidence is as good as yours.

I saw a lot of skins from many ethic backgrounds.
Some brown skin are very good in quality and smooth and some white skin are very rough and moldy :/
My Nigerian housemate his skin is ok quality but Sri Lankan skin is nicer :lol:
 
Well, I can can identify as a pumpkin, but that doesn't make me orange. Aristo's own pics don't present any brown skin.

If race isn't objectively determined, then it isn't a technical distinctive. And, as color and race do not necessarily align, it is arguable that color is not the marker of race genetically, although that gets into all sorts or side issues due to interracial genetic profiles.

Additionally, the major race groupings are somewhat generic and are pretty vague about those races that descend from the major groups.

I could mark my census "white" if I chose to, even though I don't know my father's ancestry, and even though I know my maternal grandmother was 1/16 Choctaw, or even though I might live in Louisiana where many more categories did exist of identified racial mixes.

It has always been pretty subjective based on the times and locale. And in most cultures, what you appeared to be was what you were to the observer.

Yes, yes it is. Mine is not any proof argument, only evidence that it is not a universal term or universally applied the same.

It's patently obvious we could apply brown as a description to the sun-worshipping European populations of the Mediterranean, South Florida, Texas, the Southwest, and California. Yet those populations identify more culturally and not by skin color. One suspects few identify as "brown."
