Because there's a world of difference between looking at the distribution of particular genes or phenotypes in terms of geography, ethnicity, ancestry, etc, and dumbing it down into useless categories like black and white.
Given the sensitive nature of anything involving ethnicity, culture, skin colour, and so on, there isn't room for broad, inaccurate generalizations, or jumping to conclusions and ignoring cultural or socio-economic factors. In this case, I'd say unless you're presenting hard numbers, it's better to say very little, and choose your words carefully.
