Some religions (and by extension - governments.) have used this school of thought as their reasoning for oppressing other racial and ethnic groups.
Most accounts of Eve portray her as lily white and pure.
While accounts of Adam's original wife, Lilith (Lilitu), portray her as ethnic, rebellious and animal-like.
It's odd that stories warn Little Red Riding Hood of the dark beastly wolf.
Even though Lilith is said to have been the first vampire - most modern vampires are portrayed as more urbane than urban.
More European than ethnic.
More human than beastly.
Even in the popular Twilight series - the vampire is white while the werewolf is more ethnic.
But wasn't Lucifer himself (Or herself) described as being one of the most beautiful angels in all of Heaven?
When did "evil" become associated with being Black?
