lol, no! They are the most anti-black and white-worshiping group out there.
Are Indians considered black?

Having more melanin doesn't determine your race/ethnicity
If I was a few shades darker that doesn't mean I would be black lol I'm still a Greek Caucasian
Don't be obtuse about what people mean when they say "black" given the history of the word and it's connections

"Black" is beyond skin tone, it basically means people with SubSaharan African ancestry. Sure there are dark skin people all over the world but East Asians and Europeans are worlds apart in physical features however they share similar skin tones.

You're not black but you're not "white" either.
In any case, race is a social construct anyway.
There were also Greek black people and there are French black people but they are still fukking black, though. It just means that Greek or French is their nationality, black is their race

I am white, though
Black people aren't the only ones with darker skin tones, just means they have more skin pigment to protect from the sun, hence why people in warmer climates have darker skin Thsn those in colder climates. I have to take vitamin D even if I'm out in the sun all damn day in the summer because my bodies natural way of protecting me from the sun due to my DNA from being a Greek

Racism and discrimination in India is deeply rooted in their religion and goes back thousands of years. Basically the lighter skin Indians are forbidden to touch darker skin southern Indian. They are not even allowed to make eye contact.
The cast system is probably the most cruel and brutal form of discrimination that I have ever come across. It's beyond sickening.

Personally i believe there is a difference between being Black(i.e having dark skin) and being a Black person of African descent. The people in that video are Black but they are not of African descent. If you took their Ancestry DNA, they most likely have zero ethnic African genes.
Same with Australian Aborigines, they have dark skin but their ethnic DNA is totally different from those of Black people of African descent.

So everyone in this world is black?
Uh no...
Human beings evolved in separate climates over thousands of years...to the point we are distinguishable from each other....
Just because modern humanity originated in Africa does not mean everyone has African ancestry...
