Many believe that racial distinctions came at the same time God forced the people of Babylon to speak different languages. The story is that, after the great flood, mankind didn't disperse and "fill the Earth" as God had commanded ("Go forth and multiply."). Instead, they stayed together and built the city of Babylon. So God "confused their tongues" by causing them to speak multiple languages, which forced them to divide into separate cultures and spread apart.
