Brown:

adj \ˈbrau̇n\

Brown people or brown race is a political, racial, ethnic, societal, and cultural classification, [....] a metaphor for race based on human skin color, reflecting the fact that there are shades of skin color intermediate between "Mediterranean" (skin type IV) and "black" (skin type VI). Consequently, the term includes groups that have no connection other than their intermediate skin tone, especially but not limited to "mixed race" individuals.

Girl: A girl is any female human from birth through childhood and adolescence to attainment of adulthood. The term may also be used to mean a young woman.^[1]....In casual context, the word has positive uses[....] as a way of unifying women of all ages on the basis of their once having been girls[....] These positive uses mean gender rather than age [or sex].

Gadfly (găd'flī')

n. :a person who upsets the status quo by posing upsetting or novel questions, or just being an irritant. The term has been used to describe many politicians and social commentators.
