There is no right defintion, because it's not a scientific term. Therefore the most common defintion is the "right" one. Best would be to abandon these terms.
You're misunderstanding me. Terms like "black" or "white" in regards to race are very vague. There is no "right" or "wrong". The only legitimization these terms have, are due to their wide usage. Which is why ways these terms are most commonly used, are the closest to being the "right" ones. And when I say abandoning the terms, I don't mean ignoring the differences. The problem is just that the way we lump groups of people together as races is very unscientific and a big mess. There are biological, cultural, and historical factors at play. It's just not as simple as we'd like it to be.

Brown hair + Brown eyes = NOT white
Thank you
That's not the usual definition of white though.
@Pamina the usual definition is wrong then.

@Pamina I think the usual definition is wrong then. I don't think abandoning the terms would be good because there are obvious differences.
