Are Indians white or black?

According to people's skin color, hair color, eye expression, height and other external physical characteristics, Indians belong to the yellow race with yellowish or light brown skin, black and smooth hair and prominent cheekbones.

Indians refer to the primitive aborigines in North America and South America. Their external physical characteristics are: yellowish or light brown skin, black and smooth hair, prominent cheekbones and Mongolian upper eyelid wrinkles. Traditionally, they are classified as the American branch of Mongolian race and belong to the yellow race.

Indians, except Inuit (also known as Eskimos), are a general term for all Native Americans, not just a certain nation or race. Indians are distributed in South America and North America. They speak hundreds of languages, often called Indian or Native American languages. So far there is no recognized classification of Indian ethnic groups and their languages.

/kloc-in the 6th century, European colonists who came to America enslaved and even slaughtered Indians in large numbers. By 2 1 century, there were about 30 million Indians, and most of their hybrids were descendants of male colonists and local women. In the United States, Indians only account for about 1.2% of the total population.

American federal law will no longer use discriminatory words such as "Indians" when addressing these ethnic minorities. Instead, it was "Native Americans".

Maya is a branch of ancient India and the only nation in America that left written records. They constitute a diverse Native American people, living in southern Mexico and northern Central America.

"Maya" is a general term for convenience, which includes people who have contributed some cultural and linguistic heritage to this area. But it also includes many different population, social and ethnic groups, and each group has its own special traditional, cultural and historical characteristics.
