As I've seen black black people and barely tan black people I'd say it's to make it nice and simple. Same with white people.

Genuine africans are more black than brown. Genuine Mongoloids are more yellow than white. Why come up with the whole palette of colors if you can just use 3?

Nah, whites are not tan, most Hispanics tend to be tan, You don't really see whites being tan, unless they get their selves tan (sun bed) but its real rear. Their like a peach colored, reddish, pinkish, or pale color skin ton.

Not Medish people - they can be pretty dark, yet 100% White.
