Then again, in Britain I noticed they also refer to South Asian people as "black," so perhaps they just aren't as concerned as we are about distinguishing gradations of skin color generally.

Damn.
Any old rasins
Are UK Sultanas,
Though they mark plantains
as distinct from bananas.
Overall, the British,
whether dark or light,
Only seem to distinguish
If it's not lily white.
