Europeans created the social construct of race and left a legend of a color caste system around the world. People were previously separated by the regions they lived in and by religion. The last time I visited Vietnam, I asked the Vietnamese guide why the beautiful beaches were deserted. He said the Vietnamese people didn't like getting dark. While in Mumbai, India, I noticed only dark Indians living on the beach. Lol!
