Are Negrito/ Aborigine people considered "Black"?

Question

What about the people of Vanuatu? Or are they closer to Polynesians or Asians?

I find this stuff fascinating!

Answer 1

@ bravozulu

very good

I loved that book "Guns Germs & Steel"

every one should read it

the world would be a much better place

Answer 2

People in Vanuatu are Melanesians, which is similar to Polynesians and Maoris. I think they came from the south east Asians, but changed physiology over the years.

Aboriginal people in Australia are called Aboriginal and not black (there aren't many around anyway), though you will find that people just shorten it to 'abo'. Some people find that offencive, but I don't think its meant to be.

Answer 3

yeah and so is the dark hindu indians.. black folks with perms hey even the dark cambodians

Answer 4

They may also be closer to ****** than many other groups in the region.  A really good book that deals partially with this is Guns Germs and Steel by Jarod Diamond.

Answer 5

HONEY, all races are considered black. Even the white moon which has no choice but to reveal its' blank face because of the {SON}s reflection.

Answer 6

The American Indians are classified as Aborigine also They were dark but that was due to the time in the weather and sun. They weren't red ether. More like the Asian since that's where they come from. And yes to the last.

Answer 7

Don't 'color code' human beings, it is a bad habit and racist to boot.

The three main races of man are (in Latin): 1. *******, 2. Mongoloid, 3. Caucazoid.

Under each main race are the ethnic groups.

My Anthropology professor taught that if the Australian aborigones were left isolated for another 250,000 years, they would have evolved into a fourth race of man, but as it is they are an ethnic group of the ******* race.

Polynesians (and American Indians) are also ethnically derived from the Mongoloid race (Asian).

Answer 8

What is so fascinating about labeling people by color, hasn’t history taught you anything! But since you brought up the issue, two years ago I was on a work related trip to Africa and the locals constantly referred to me as white. The odd part about this was I’m an African American who happens to have an extremely dark complexion. Yet the locals kept on referring to me as white. So the moral of the story is the term “black” has totally different meanings in different regions of the world. Therefore, if you want a correct answer to your question you would have to ask someone from that region or a person who fits the criteria.

saint,

actually Native Americans have ties to Asia and Siberia. How do you think they got to North America? They crossed the Bering Strait.
