The analogy of the red-, blue-, and yellow-colored blocks suggests that we learn to focus on certain physical characteristics to determine someone’s race, while ignoring others. We may group people into primary categories (like primary colors), but there are also secondary categories that can overlap (like mixing colors can create new shades). This aligns with answer choice C. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the analogy presented in the text.
