How do people that believe in Noah's Ark explain race/ethnicity?

Something I've always been genuinely curious about the mental gymnastics to reason that out.

I'm talking about the people that believe LITERALLY the entire world was flooded and only Noah's family and two of every animal were on the Ark, just a couple of thousand years ago.

Obviously those types of people do not believe in evolution.

How did the races of man develop? Was one of Noah's sons a black guy, one an asian guy, one arab, etc etc?

I do not want this to devolve into a religious pissing contest if at all possible.

I have no idea, the very concept of the Ark story is beyond ludicrous, I'm honestly just curious.

Go find out for yourself.

I recommend going to Bourbon country in Kentucky, but hey, if I passed right by this I may check it out.

Well in their defense, people who take that narrative 100% literally don't really do a good job of explaining anything else anyway.

Right, but Noah's Ark would be the genetic bottleneck, presumably several hundred(? Thousand?) years after Adam and Eve.

So sometime in between Noah and now, race would have to develop, because anyone before Noah would have been wiped out.

Not at all. I have no intention of debating religion or the topic. I'd honestly like to know.

If people WANT to debate that's fine.

Because the whole world was not technically flooded, but that area by the Nile/Egypt/Mesopotamia was flooded pretty bad. They just thought the whole world because they did not understand how large the actual world was.

How did the races evolve from primordial ooze?
