I vote we use wealth.

No, we’d simply find some other difference to get divided on.

Unfortunately it’s the wealthy people who decide.

It’s intersectional: the wealthy early birds. They would make the decision while us night owls sleep

It’ll ultimately just lead to even more discrimination against the poor

Having lived in a majority white city where they divided themselves between countries of origin, this would happen.
Until a large Hispanic influx northeast PA had Italian sections, Irish sections, Lithuanian sections, Polish sections, etc. When my ex’s grandmother met me she asked me “what are you?” despite us both being white.

She was old enough to remember that none of those origins was considered white.

In the show All In The Family, Archie isn’t just bigoted against non-caucasians; he’s bigoted against the polish, Irish, Italians, etc… He’s less bigoted against those groups than he is against non-whites, but still bigoted. He’s also bigoted against catholics

Or people would simply be divided over what race they used to be.

After a few generations, they’d start to forget

Exactly. This is why people say race is a construct.
If we all became the same race then some self labeled ingroup would construct (i.e. create) new criteria to label others as an outgroup eventually creating new races.

And people would also track down and document what race people used to be before the change happened so that they could keep on hating too.

It’d be regions/land-based, probably. “Southern pride,” etc…just without the racism. Fuck those star-bellied sneeches across the river.
