“The patriot, like the Christian, must learn that to bear revilings and persecutions is a part of his duty; and in proportion as the trial is severe, firmness under it becomes more requisite and praiseworthy.” ~ Thomas Jefferson, 1805

well depends how you define black race, in my opinion east indians are most likely closeley related with dravidians, so they are part of the dravidian race, but i have heard of many african people that live around india due to trade routes and such so i am not sure

Unless they stay outside for most of their lifespan day and night and lack a left-turning volume button, then they are not Black.

If you mean negroid or australoid, then not really, other than potential trace ancestries. They could ultimately be mulattoes, but genetics doesn’t exactly have signposts pointing “hey these people are mullatoes!”
They’re definitely at least mostly caucasoid, even most of their languages & cultures are Indo-European.
I think they’re typically considered “Asians” in America. They’d definitely be considered as “persons of color” in America at least I think, though not sure whether that term is limited to negroes.
If you mean skin color, most of them are light to medium brown, though I’ve seen near coal black before, though I don’t think that’s normal for them, & those few people I saw probably spent most of their life under the sun. I’m curious to know how normal that is for them.
According to Von Luschan’s Chromatic Scale, South Indians apparently generally have the same skin tones as Australian Aboriginals & most Sub-Saharan Africans.
This is an example of why I personally prefer the term “negro” over “black” because it’s more clear & accurate. Why call people who are yellow skinned “black?” Too bad it’s become politically incorrect.

1922.
Strangers at Singapore.
While travelling round the world, Charles Hendley, an American, wrote regularly to his son back in the U.S.A.
S.S. “Melchior Treub”
K.P.M. Line, Royal Dutch Packet Co.
Astride the Equator
Sunday, October 22, 1922.
“There are some thirty languages spoken in Singapore, most of them dialects of the Malay and Indian races. These various tribes have imported not only their languages, but their religions and their manner of dress and living. They all have dark skins of varying shades. What surprised me most was the extreme black skins of some of the East Indians. They are as black as any of our negroes, and what startles one is to hear them (a few about the hotels) speak in clear excellent English. Many of them have fine clear cut features.”
