Very good point, it is a social construct, skin color is a very basic and clumsy way of identifying 'race'. There are 5 distinct races in Africa alone, not including Europeans or North Africans. Australian Aboriginals are more different from any other ethnic or racial group in the world, their closest relatives are some of the Papua New Guinea, and yet the difference between the Aboriginals and the New Guinea tribesfolk is greater then between any other racial group, Equatorial Africans and Scandinavians for example.
Simple folk get by with their more basic color-keyed understandings of these things however.
