question is to The Giver
We are not provided with information about race in the text. The only description we are given in that of Jonas and Gabriel's "blue eyes"; Fiona's "red hair"; and the fact that all skin color is the same.
"The Giver shook his head. "No, flesh isn't red. But it has red tones in it. There was a time, actually--you'll see this in the memories later--when flesh was many different colors. That was before we went to Sameness. Today flesh is all the same...."
