Growing up, we were taught about Adam and Eve. I just assumed that Adam was black, and Eve was white. When they had a baby, it was Hispanic (at the time, I guess that seemed closest to grey). Then, if a Hispanic person had a baby with an white person, the baby would be Asian. Or, if a Hispanic person and a black person had a child, it was Indian. I had all the races all worked out.
