Are Australoids (Aborigines) black, white or Asian?

What would they be considered? I know they are Australoids and a separate race (Like n3groid, caucasoid, mongloid, etc, but (for our meaning of race) what are they? There are ones with brown-to dark skin who have tightly coiled blonde hair, wide nose and full lips. Like here:

Then there are these:

    You don't judge race by how people look.

    They are Australoid....not black nor white.

    EDIT;The second girl doesn't look middle eastern - ha.

    Plus, no-one is really black or white.

    They're a unique Subgroup of the ******* race. Of course they're much different than African Negroids, because they're so distant from Africa they're as different from each other as the British are from Indians or Dravidians (These groups are Caucasoids) and Mongolians are from Peruvians (Both groups are Mongoloids). For people to even claim that all groups within each race have the same skull shape is ignorant as if that were the case then all groups in each race would be identical in appearance, lacking diversity in traits, debunking the whole concept of ethnicity (Gallo, German, Scandinavian, Briton, Indian, Dravidian, etc.). Along time ago people simply classified themselves by ethnicity (German, Italian, Russian, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Korean, etc.) not the new retarded (White, Black, Caucasian, *****, etc.) labels.

    SumSum is right. You can't always tell someone's race, just based on facial features. I think it's better that people identify with WHERE they are from instead of what 'race' they are. They shouldn't be considered either if you ask me. They were the first group to migrate out of Africa. SOLEY based on features they would be considered black, but I don't think that's accurate and it shouldn't matter what they are considered. They are Australoid. Simple as that

    They are australoids, but a lot of people consider them black, they are stupid. They are just australoids.

    Btw, the second picture doesn't look middle eastern. She looks aborigine.

    They are Australoid, but they are more closely related to Asians than to Europeans, and are even more distant to Africans. Look up "human phylogeny tree"

    Neither, they have their own racial classification and have been shown that they are more closely related to Asians than Black or White people.

    Looks can be very decieving.

    BTW: those first kids are Melenesian, adorable.

    If their skin is black, or dark brown..well of course.

    Why would someone say they are not black?
