Food for thought: Using the term "brown people" is understandably viewed as crass and rather racist in tone (or for that matter, "yellow people" as well). So why is it perfectly acceptable to use the terms "black people" and "white people"?

Is it because african and caucasian Americans refer to themselves with those colors? It's also in many government forms: black and white but never yellow, brown or red.
