Everything would be better if all but one race let themselves die out. 100 years from now, if that worked out, racism could be non-existent.
It's human nature to discriminate based on differences, and the more obvious the differences the worse it is, so I just think quality of life would be better for humanity overall if our species were only one race.
Sure, people would still find reasons to single out certain members, but it's easier to find harmony in homogeny.
Appearance (maybe besides simple ugliness) wouldn't be something humans would struggle to look past. It would instead probably be something we naturally looked past if everyone were as physically similar as possible.
Because aside from muscular build, clothing, and other things that reflect class and occupation, appearance would be seen as a highly unreliable way of determining anything of substance about a person.
And without the crutch of prepackaged, racial stereotypes to lean upon, more attention would be placed on getting to know someone by carefully observing the unique content of their character.
I think it'd be best if we were all hermaphrodites too, like worms, but that is even more impossible.
PS: Just wanna make it clear that I'm not a supremacist. I wouldn't care if my race was one of the ones to die out.
Yeah I get what you're saying and I don't think it's racist. If there had to be only one race though then I think a better solution would be if all the races intermixed so that everyone in the world ended up as a light brown colour. But I think racism will be overcome one day though so this would be unnecessary.
I kind of like the idea of intermixing so that certain cultures wouldn't all be lost, but I don't think that would be that much better than most races just dying out, especially since intermixing would take more time and effort.
Do you have an unpopular opinion you keep to yourself?

I think clothing and behavior play a bigger role than people want to believe.

Yeah it'd definitely take much more time and effort but it seems to be the more healthy, happy, positive solution to me.
