That is really something, but according to my Ex-coworker her dog knew the diffrence between a black and white person.

Wow, I must be the only one missing something, because I totally don't even understand what you're asking.
From what I have understood, dogs do see colors, just with less variety and intensity than humans do. I've had tons of people tell me that their dog can differentiate between a red ball and a yellow one...etc.
But for the sake of argument, let's assume that they ARE completely colorblind, as in, they only see in black and white.
They would STILL be able to tell the difference between a black skinned person, a tan-skinned person, and a white-skinned person! It's all about shades and tonalities.
When we watch old black and white movies, obviously we can see the difference in shades of skin, it's just in a spectrum of white/gray/black.
I don't really understand why it's hard to believe a dog could recognize or respond to skin color??? At any rate, it definitely doesn't sound like something to make a huge issue out of with your co-worker. There's really no way to broach the subject without coming off like you're accusing her of being a racist. I'd just let it go.
