See people, do not worry, we shall find other mundane things to kill each other over.
That sounds like a porn spoof of Star Wars.
Wouldn't be something more like Star Whores or something?

I hope that the world doesn't become 90%-95% similar, not because i'm a follower of 'Separate but Equal' but because...
We shouldn't get rid of defining characteristics of our races and ethnicities, as these are the things that make us physically distinguishable from one another.

That name is probably already taken, though.

Well, there it is your people completely absent of androgenic ("male pattern" i.e. visible and rougher) body hair.
I've never saw or heard of an Indigenous Brazilian guy with a beard or a mustache or armpit hair or in the trunk. Never, ever.
So you already have your ideal people alive and kinda sorta-ish well.

I'm against the world becoming 90% the same-looking. Isn't variance what makes life interesting? :/

This will never exactly happen, for various socioeconomic and geographic reasons.

Precisely, you lose the diversity. People are always going to find something to discriminate against others on, even if we did all look the same. But if it happens then we have to accept it because that's how nature works.

It wouldn't matter if we were all black or brown, we'd still find something to kill each other over.

Racism is more about capitalism's "normal" unfairness than it is about civil wars and genocide these days.

Oh even under a different system we'd still find something to bitch at each other over(sports teams, government officials, resources)

The point is that people aren't born equal. People don't immediately know your sport team upon looking at you. You don't have sport team-segregated neighborhoods receiving less civil services. You don't have stereotypes about sport team fans from other continents being relevant to your daily life and how you treat or what you think of foreigners.

Look I'm with you. I think that racism is horrible but as long as there are differences between people there will be discrimination.

Yes... I don't think miscegenation will end racism and a poof of magic either... it will just divorce us from traditional Western racialism, what isn't much.

Western racialism? What about the genocides in Afirca(Rwanda, DRC, etc)?

Since when has humanity just accepted nature?
Not that I think we should force variance, just saying.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_Hutu_and_TutsiIt was hugely influenced by it.

Nah. If everyone looked the same, Earth would be united. Nationalism would be dead.

The Human Race would also be boring looking.

The theory usually claims we will all have tan-ish skin and black/brown hair.
The extra 5-10% is for people passing down recessive traits like blonde hair and blue eyes as well as isolated tribes/groups.
What do you think, NSG?
Personally, I think it's a great thing.
So much hatred and violence has been caused by racism and it would basically be nonexistent if we were all similar.
I think society would advance at a greater rate if we were all unified as well.
Hopefully, at the current rate of globalization and what-not, it takes less than 300-500 years to happen.

You're incredibly naive if you think racism, or bigotry will fade with the loss of race. Besides, it's not a good thing, nor a bad thing, it's simply a thing, to apply morality to it "Because it fulfills my diversity requirements!" or "Because it'll mean the destruction of the white race" is simply silly.

Just like how there was no nationalism in Europe during the years leading up to WWI since most people were white.
No, wait...

The wonderful thing about humans is that we will always find a way to divide ourselves, and find some horrid flaw in our siblings.
