Ask AI: Why did Caucasian people make themselves the majority of the population by dividing colored people into different categories

? Caucasian people historically have believed in the superiority of their race and in some cases have sought to maintain their dominance by promoting a racial hierarchy in which they are at the top. This has been done in part by creating divisions among people of color and assigning different levels of status to people of different skin tones. This has resulted in a situation where in many countries, including the United States, people of color have been systematically marginalized and excluded from many aspects of society and the economy.
