So why white people are called white and black people black...

...since the white peoples' skin isnt white.It'sactually a very light brown;and black peoples' is dark brown not black.

Discuss.(and of course this isnt racism or anything :roll: ).

Because some ***** said to another ****** "Yo, what colour is like... teh skin stuffy" and he replied "it are be white"

either that or the guy who was being asked had eye problems : ]

Everyone is just a different shade of gold.Lilac_Benjie

i could really care less for these kinds of technicalities. Not everything needs to be exactly perfect.

says you. i know people that you really could call white.

though really, everybody should carry around one of those paint shade charts from home depot. then you put the chart up to their face to compair and address them accordingly.

I have actually seen black people who were black (or to dark to be brown) but some have different skintones my cousin is so lightskin he is almost yellow. But I find it easier to call us all people.leegar88

I'm not going to run around with color sample sheets trying to figure out the proper color term to call you.

I'm very pale, so I'm kind of white. :PSolidSnake35

Well I think that'd be why we say caucasion and african american. White and black is actually a racist term if you think about it, just nobody cares.Ritard

The only problem is that not all black people are african american there are black people outside of america. What do you think they should be called?
