"Your skin color doesn't make you behave a certain way or say certain things."

This is true, but if people are divided and treated differently according to skin color it can lead to that. That can create different cultures, habits, neighbourhoods and things that are connected to the skin color. And those things won´t always change quickly.
Same for example things that are viewed as feminine and masculine, for example certain colors and professions might be now viewed as feminine/masculine, but they might have been the other way around before. The thread about men being less talkative than women is a good example of that.

The short answer to op is history.
