"White," of course, is a color, and neither of these individuals (and I did see pictures) is colored white. Try, just as an experiment, putting you hand down next to a piece of paper. We are all shades of tan.

The racial group more correctly called Caucasian includes both Europeans and Arabs. Pakistanis and Indians are Arians (like the Germans once pretended to be), and a mixture of Caucasian and Asian. Call it a "racial" issue if you want, or call it national or ethnic prejudice. Regardless, judging a person based upon the shade of tan/brown of their skin is moronic, no matter who is throwing the punches.
