And I think some people *might* offended by these classifications - why not:

caucasion, african (incl. West Indies et al), oriental, asian (different to
asia below I guess), aboriginal (bracket including maori, amerindians (I
don't like that term either, personally), &so on &so forth), arab (middle
east nations etc).

Can't help there, actually
