Why do humans care so much about what color people are, when...?

...in the rest of the animal world color variation is extremely common and means nothing at all?

For example, when my cat had kittens, there were three different fur colors in the one litter (two black, one white, and two orange & black striped). If what color you are is so important, why didn't my cats hate each other?

Some of us don't let the color of a persons skin take away from the fact that they are human. Some people see color and not the person and some see the person and not the color.

And the littermates thus get used to diversity. We humans look like our parents, except in interracial partnerships.
