Both thinking in terms of race and the opposing "colorblind" ideology are primarily Western creations (mostly in America) because the idea of an ethnic group or race requires interacting or mixing with some other races. When you get an influx of different types of people into your territory, it's natural to start drawing tribal lines based on the most obvious differences. Not going to happen but hypothetically if Asian countries started getting flooded with Africans you'd start to see the old national/ethnic walls break down and a rise in "Yellow Pride" movements in 100 years or so. (or maybe they'd be the new White by then)
