Black people are not black. They're brown. Sometimes dark brown.

White people are not white. They're pigmented. Sometimes tan.

Albino's are the closest thing to white. However, they're not called white.

Did you know if a white guy is born in Africa and comes over to America, nearly everyone would think of him as an American and not African-American? However, if a black guy is born in America, he's still considered an African-American and not an American. Why is this?

Because we have to be politically correct now. I can't say "that black guy" I have to say "that African-American guy". Just kinda became the new racial term for black people in America.
