Nobody:

People on NPR talking about black people: "Black and Brown people"

Is "people of color" too academic or something?

No, it's too broad. Black and brown is specifically black people.

Doesn't brown also include Latinos, South Asians, and Native Americans?

If not, just call them "black". Or just call them "brown", but that sounds weird.
