Color is an American concept. We only see Black, White, Mexican and Asian.
They rest of the world is much more specific. Remember the Holocaust? Those where not Blacks or Hispanics the Nazis rounded up and gassed. Yugoslavia? Those where not Arabs being executed.
Same goes for the other regions of the world. Middle East is a blazing shit whole genocide based on race (Egyptian, Persian, Gulf Arab, Pakistani/Indian). Americans see Africans as "blacks", but their are plenty of subtle differences that actual Africans readily see and it divides them into different ethnic groups.
Same goes for Asians, most Americans (Regardless of race) couldn't tell a Han from a Uyghur to a Tibetan, from a Korea, to a Japanese from a Okinawan. We just say "Oh, Asian! They must all get along and love each other and respect one another because they are all the same color!"
