Brown people

Brown people was a term used on Earth to refer to people of South American and Central American as well as Middle Eastern descent.

Father Roberto explained to the Eighth Doctor that the myth that the Holy Family were white had caused great damage to the self-esteems of black and brown people who had to pray to a white God: "No matter how much they prayed, how penitent or good they were, being white was something they could never be. That kind of patronage does damage." (PROSE: Halflife)
