Arendt talks a lot in Origins of Totalitarianism about the idea that the conceptual structure of scientific racism only really develops in the 18th/19th century as an intellectual response to the experiences of colonialism and imperialism (looking at people like Gobineau), and that it's fundamentally a different way of conceptualizing identity than pre-modern prejudice and xenophobia. So I think it's true that racism develops *in response* to Europeans encountering and living with people who are markedly difference in appearance (and also, exploiting them and treating them as inferiors).

But that doesn't mean that the actual *content* of race categories consists primarily of skin tone, or that you can't take that structure and apply it to people with pale skin. And in fact, this is what people went and did.
