I see a lot of alignment in your threads and comments with the things I care about, so please hear this feedback as coming from someone siding with you.
You may want to start using phrases like "darker complexions" instead of "coloured skin," the latter phrase referencing an outdated term of "coloreds" or "colored people" for what we now would call "people of color."
Next thing you know you'll be telling us "Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature."
Do you feel like you advanced anything here today by saying this?
"Asian-American" please.
To be fair to them, there are skin tones other than “darker complexion” and “white.”
