      Why colour code-white and brown? It is not appropriate to point colour to your nationality. This is 2018 not middle age.

      @@mentalhealthadvocate3753 yea it is 2018 but people are still good at generalising and stereotyping. When people say American or Australian most of the time people assume that they are white and same for Indians most of the time people assume they are brown.
