White Labels
Why is everyone viewed as black or white in the south?

My uncle went to Mississippi and he said there was only two labels: black and white.
We both are South Asians, and when they gave him an identity card his race said white. I was hella confused. He too was. And then he asked why he was labelled "white" and they said because his hair was straight like white people's hair.

Why wasn't labelled as brown like most south asians are labelled as?

And what about east asians from china, korea, and japan? what would they be labelled as?

I think he went to Mississippi a long time ago - all places in the US now allow "other" on race questions or at least include Asian and Hispanic, even in Mississippi. But there was a time when Asian was not on the list - if you were not of African ancestry, then you were white - which was the same as "non-Black". Stupid, I know, but brown has not been used in the US. Some people categorize themselves as "people of color" and the really early race divisions were White, Black, Yellow and Red - White being Europeans, Black being Africans, Yellow being Asians and Red being Native Americans. But that was really old-school stuff. Brown is a new category, used for "not White or Black" but Asian and Hispanic are the current terms used along with "other" - even in Mississippi. But an individual could accidentally check white on a form when presented with someone who is Asian, it depends on your specific features - one of the many reasons race is a silly concept. White covers a ton of groups of people who have little or nothing in common other than the color of their skin. Asian, African and even Hispanic do as well: individuals within each "race" are as different as those between races are. Race is an obsolete term - some anti-discrimination reporting requries labeling people or trying to, but that is being phased out as well, since making people declare a race is foolish for most people of mixed heritage.
