The bible was written only a couple thousand years ago. Humans have been in existence a lot longer than that, and certainly in existence longer than writing itself was available.
I would say that separation of humans into races as well as mixing of races predate the bible by a lot of years.

I thought you meant that part of a slave's job description was to "bore" the master's children. I thought, "Why would being boring be the start of mixed races?"
LOL
The question seems kind of silly, though. You're taking Genesis and the Bible quite literally.

No! They weren't talking about slaves of different races--the slaves that people had in the OT were of the same race as themselves, and often the same "nationality". Are you some kind of racist?

You're thinking of slaves as they were in the U.S., a different race brought in from a different continent. In the Middle East of biblical times they were usually of the same race as their conquerors; other people of the same region.

read the story of the tower of babel . According to the story God punished mankind for trying to build a tower to Heaven by making them speak different languages. I think this is the 1st reference to different cultures in the Bible

Depends on if the slave was another race.

What makes you think they were of different races?
