If everyone spontaneously became the same race the world would realize that the rich are the real problem

  The rich are the ones that make race into a problem.

  Nah they would just invent new races. What’s the point of race? What does it mean exactly? Notice that the races in the US at least roughly align with economic classes.

  That’s not an accident. Obviously without the concept of races, people would still have different skin color and hair, but the implications would be entirely different. Culture, neighborhoods, etc. wouldn’t be separated. And most importantly, it would be ever so slightly harder for rich people to make the majority feel like they’re in the same group as them.

  Or better yet, everyone appears to be whatever the new mono-race is, but in mirrors and other reflections and photos, racists see their least favorite race.

  That way they still get to suffer.

  My favorite part of this idea is the thought of white supremacists waking up and finding themselves to be black.

  First, we are only one race

  Second, outside of certain countries overly obsessed with skin colour, we in the rest of the world have other ways of hating each other: cultural background, religion, economical status, education.

  Greed everywhere is the real problem. The rich are just successful in their greed.

  Humans never evolved past tribes.

  Damned good question! Without a visible “other” to point at we’d at least be a long step closer to seeing the real enemy.

  To everyone speculating that we’d find other ways to break into tribes, how does it look in racially/ethnically homogeneous countries? I’m American so I only know what I read online.
