Greg, I think that the group should collectively decide which is the appropriate referent or referents for themselves. Since I'm not of that group, I wouldn't presume to say what referent is appropriate or inappropriate-hence my question.

Unfortunately, I've not known any Native Americans except for those who have Black ancestry and seem more socialized to African American culture than Native American. Also, unfortunately, I've known very few Asians except for several individuals from Pakistan who are browner in complexion than me and many Black people. So again, I "yellow" doesn't appear to me to be a reasonably accurate description. But as I said, most Black people-in Africa and elsewhere, aren't black either.
