I don't think so.
 
The world's genetic heritage can be preserved in many ways. A single middle size sperm and egg bank has the potential of preserving all the genetic diversity of mankind.
 
Even more, as a South American I can tell you that mixtures doesn't destroy heritages at all. You can see, at least in Souther South America, large number of peoples that are white, blond and blue eyed, whose ancestors are not all Europeans at all. It is quite curious to see some brown couples, with very straight dark hair having kids that look scandinavians. But it 's so common down here that nobody pays attention to it.
 
When I was a kid I had in my classroom kids that looked 100% natives, others that looked Spaniards, a cooper haired guy, blond blue eyes, all the varieties you could desire.
 
We didn't know them we belonged to different "races". Nobody toll us!
 
Only when I was an adult, and I had the brilliant idea to migrate to Canada, and people there didn't consider me a "white", that I realized my friends of my class when I was a kid where not of the same "genetics" or "race".
 
But that does not matter to me. They were all MY PEOPLE, and that's what really counts. I believe.

Not so. By eliminating the differences... mankind could accomplish much more. Ever heard of Atlantis? Yes, I know their existence is not proven... but Atlanteans are supposedly the first civilization where only one race (Indo-European) worked together to make a utopian world that amazed many great civilization. In fact, I am going to post a grand theory about Atlantis once the Mediterranean sea theory issue is solved.

Still, a city in which one third of the population is a slave doesn't strike me as an example to be followed.

Rome persecuted Christians, and the treatment of the Jews wasn't great.

When we realise there is only ONE RACE, the HUMAN RACE and that's it, no black, blue, purple race's just the ONE and that all we are really is a geographical grouping of this one race which has certain cultural-linguistic differences.

You'd be amazed how difficult it is for some to accept this even on AE, the amount of arguments I've had with people telling me that there is the White race, the Black race, the Yellow race bla bla bla nothing but racialistic crap.

I disagree penguin, I think trying to breed away difference is somewhat racist in itself, since it is trying to erase different races/cultures in a way.


Personally I think racism disappears when one race is no longer priviledged over another.  Sure, prejudice would remain, but it would not have the same kind of impact at all.

Yes, I agree Pekau, people will always find some reason to fight. Some of these could be classism, nationalism, religious bigotry and thousand of other causes. But racism is only fired by physical differences between peoples.

Pinguin, see my second last post. Just because you get rid of genetic differences does not mean the racism is gone. People will find another ways to ensure that some are more suprior than others. (ex. You know that twins fight too, right?)
