" Why is there no equivalent for people of any other colour "

There are ... many.

Fortunately, I haven't heard most of them since the 1970s.

The one advantage to antisocial media, as far as I am concerned, is that, these days, it’s all gone online and I’m not subjected to the cacophony of abuse I used to hear of the Irish, Scots, Welsh, Italians, Spanish, French, Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Africans, Jamaicans and anyone with slightly less than alabaster white skin whenever I set foot outside my door ... and only ever hear the 'N' word itself when I watch US made films — instead, online, I simply scroll past a few foaming at the mouth tirades about ‘sheeple’, ‘muslims’, ‘sovrintee’, ‘libtards’, ‘EUSSR’, ‘betas’, 'cucks' and suchlike … which is not only much easier to ignore but, furthermore, largely less offensive as well.

But those terms for people of other 'colours' exist nevertheless, were commonly used for a very long time and are still used by racists today ... you just require the misfortune of encountering them (https://whereangelsfeartotread.medium.com/oddworld-7613a27ae5eb) — Hell, you don't even need to be 'coloured' for English bigots to hate you ... just not English.

" or any other type? "

Then there are all the terms of abuse for those who aren't strictly heterosexual — bigots don't feel constrained by 'political correctness' when it comes to their prejudice ... there are plenty of other types of people who come in for victimisation.

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live and too rare to die.
