Why do people call themselves Black in a first place? Neither calling someone White or Black is accurate - perhaps why we have: Brown? Calling someone Yellow, I think, is still considered offensive though. Indicating your belonging by color confuses.

Overall, color coding, or grouping people by how well their skin is absorbing light, removes part of personal autonomy.
