Impossible. We're much too individualistic not to make a rainbow out of our skin.
That's fine as well, as long as the base human is uniformly the same everywhere on earth.
Do you guys really want future humans to still be stuck with racial concepts and divisions? Nation states too I suppose? Fuck that shit. We need to evolve beyond that, and in my opinion that includes modern day ideals of hyper individualism; though I would also argue that a common baseline skin and hair color doesnt mean people can't differentiate themselves.
We are dying hair, tanning skin, wearing varied clothing, applying makeup, and so forth even today.
I want a future where every colour is beautiful. Uniformity is too bland and too susceptible to mass extinction events. Genetic diversity is what ensures our greater chances of survival, so while I welcome ending racism as a concept, i see our common baseline to be as fellow humans.
