Firstly, race is not based on skin color alone.
Secondly, is brown defined as not white or black?
Thirdly, race is not a scientific concept...
Fourthly, can the men from the little islands give examples of their concept? Are Norm and Chrissy brown? Sarwan?

Just asking- is calling someone brown racist?
Aren't all people brown? Or is the brown not black or white?
In reply to Barry
First you should know (not that I have to point it out) that Brown is a derivative color.
In our (humans) case the perception of brown is a clear sign of mixed races: Indians, Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, Asian......
And no all people are not brown as you put it.
Calling someone Brown can only be considered racist if the intent was to separate them from what you considered "normal", to compare them with something you think that is clearly superior, or to discriminate in a way that clearly or purposefully denigrates them due to the color of their skin.
One can say brown-skinned as a means of describing someone, meaning that the person is not quite Black or White.
But then you knew that already..

The relationship between race and color is complex: the two are intertwined, and it can be difficult to tease apart. However, one group that illuminates the distinction between the two is South Asian Americanspeoples in the United States whose ancestry derives from the Indian subcontinent. South Asian Americans are a group that does not fit neatly within the dominant racial categories of Black and White and have a racially ambiguous identity within the United States. Because South Asian Americans have been classified in various racial categories and vary significantly in skin tone, their experiences can uniquely relay how race is related to color. Part I of this article examines the relationship between race and color more generally, and asserts that skin color is the primary physical feature associated with race. Part II analyzes the role of skin color in the characterization of South Asian Americans as White. Part III considers skin color in relation to the characterization of South Asian Americans as Black. Similar to Whiteness, this Part concludes that, while skin color can play a role in characterizations of South Asian Americans as Black, other factors are more significant. Part IV considers other color and race-linked identities attributed to South Asian Americansincluding Brown. This Part illustrates that, for all of these identities, there are facets that are much more significant than skin color.

Researchers who have since looked at people at the genetic level now say that the whole category of race is misconceived. Indeed, when scientists set out to assemble the first complete human genome, which was a composite of several individuals, they deliberately gathered samples from people who self-identified as members of different races. In June 2000, when the results were announced at a White House ceremony, Craig Venter, a pioneer of DNA sequencing, observed, The concept of race has no genetic or scientific basis.
Barry appears to be as long-winded as POINT.

its unfortunate that scientists had to waste time on such study, maybe just a few situations like these could prove the point
