One of the most dismaying political tendencies that has developed over the past fifteen years has been the development of the "brown" category.  This is a category that has not quite achieved "whiteness," but at the same time has not achieved "blackness."  So the inhabitants of this netherworld are doomed to the purgatory of "brownness."

The creation of the "brown" category is robbing millions upon millions of people of their ethnic heritage in the interests of racial politics.
