Race and hair

About a year ago, I was watching Chris Cuomo on CNN and Afghanistan was in the news and Cuomo said that some Americans don't want Afghan refugees and he surmised that was because they had brown shin. Turns out, apparently not known to him, that Afhganies are Caucasian just like North Africans are. Today on NPR a lady they were interviewing about Afghanies said that some people are upset with them because maybe their hair is not light enough. We have now progressed from prejudice against someone because of the color of their skin to the color of their hair. There are people who place too much emphasis on race and this is an example.
