Were Indians ever classified as blacks?? Looking around, it looks like they were classified as to skin tone...but not black itself...

My primary care physician is from India..no way would I classify him as black...He just isn't.

If memory serves right ( I used to have the manual for classisications), in 1964 for the census ( and birth certificates) both hispanics and Indians were classified as caucasian. Blacks were classified as Negro. It is interesting on her BC , her father is not classified as Negro, but Jamaican.
