My son SHOCKED to see a black person

He's 4 years old and for the last 2 years we've been living in Cancun, Mexico, where there are no blacks. I took him to a playground this week and there was this adorably cute black girl who kept trying to play with my son (since he was only kid there speaking English).
But my son kept moving away from her and pushing her away. I asked him why he was being mean and he said "there's something wrong with her, she's very brown. I don't like it."
OOPS!
I had to explain that there are people who are darker and that not everybody has the same skin color, etc. He finally agreed to play with her, but you could tell he wasn't happy about it. I felt terrible for the poor girl, she was very sweet, and her parents were extremely well mannered people from the Islands.
