Black people.
Asians both East and South, Black people and Native Americans have all laboured under state sanctioned and legalised discrimination and violence in the US, “brown people” did not.
The Old South was quite violently racist and systematically so to black people. No other group suffered anything like their treatment, not the Japanese, internment included, or Native Americans.
Black people suffered in the American South, not “brown people”.
