Indeed, it would be odd if color words like "black" and "white" were primarily used for something like continent of origin instead of for being used to say something about color.
Really? So an Indian man is black? Or a Korean man? Or a dude who spends a lot of time on the beach? I don't think people use the word as you are saying it is used.
