You got white (Caucasian races) and black (Negroid races).<br/><br/>Asians are White. Not one country in Asia is officially labelled as negroids. So even Indians, Thai, Uzbek, Azeri, Japanese, Mongols, Russians, etc are all officially white. The only original negroid races are from Africa. <br/><br/>My ex girlfriend was Asian (Azerbaijan) and she referred to herself and her family as white. I worked with people from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, they all said they are white. And they were. Not black or yellow or Orange (which in Britain is a skin tone I found out today).<br/><br/>I agree that Indians and Vietnamese and Thai and other countries in that inhospitable part of the world are darker than the 'normal' white.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I've<em>never</em>see it broken down into<em>only</em>two races.  I've only ever seen three races:<br/><br/>Caucasoid (Europeans, South Asians  etc.)<br/>Negroid (Africans, Australian Aborigines, etc.)<br/>Mongoloid (East Asians, Southeast Asians, Pacific Islanders, etc.).<br/><br/>For me, it's not just black and white, which is why it's unusual to see something like "white equals not black" or "black equals not white."<br/><br/>I'm pretty sure that you if you asked any American if an Asian person were black or white, they would say neither.<br/><br/>
