Get the tanman mug.
One who is neither white nor black, but somewhere in between. Usually, however, the term is used only to refer to people from, or with ancestors from, India.
"Look! It's a tanman!"
"Hey, what's up tanman Tino."
Similarly, "Hey, it's the tan brothers, Tino and Chino."

Usage note: When used between friends, regardless of their racial statuts, it is considered a term of friendship. However, when used incisively, the term is, of course, interpreted in that way.
