Do you think humans would become a mono-race in the future and would racism vanish then?

Question

Mono race = In this context mono race means that's only one race among the humanity because of a lot of interracial relationships mixing us so we becomes one single race. That means no Caucasian, Asian, black etc.

Do you think humans would become a mono-race in the future and would racism vanish then?

Yes, this is what scientists expect will happen if we assume there won't be any major catastrophes that wipe out humanity or a large part of it. However, it will take a long time for this process to be completed. Estimates talk about the year 3,000 or 3,500... so it's not something that we or our children will get to experience.

Humans of the year 3,000 will likely have a mix of features from different races. They will have a slightly brownish (caramel) skin tone and darkish hair. Their eyes will probably have become bigger through natural selection in order to improve visual ability and their jaws might be smaller and rounder because they won't have to process very hard foods anymore (less chewing). Researchers also believe that future humans will be slightly taller, reaching around 1.90m on average. The Asian stub nose might survive but the folded eyelid will likely die out. Lips will probably be rather full. Some scientists also believe that men's genitals will be slightly bigger because this is a process that has been going on for thousands of years now (natural selection).

Apart from that, the people of the year 3,000 will also speak different languages and possibly believe in different things than we do. Their English would not be recognizable to us anymore or only with great effort, just like Old English must be studied like a foreign language in order to be understood.

I am assuming that racism as we know it will not exist anymore since racial differences won't exist anymore either. Humans will still look different but the differences will be much slighter than today.
However, this doesn't mean there won't be any discrimination anymore. I am certain that people and societies will find new ways of forming in-group and out-group feelings and discriminating certain people. My guess is that socio-economic factors will play a larger and larger factor during the coming decades and centuries. I could imagine a world like in "Brave New World", where people are grouped into different classes, according to how wealthy and how educated they are.
But then again, a lot can happen in 1,000 years and it's almost impossible to make any accurate predictions whatsoever. Just imagine the people of the Middle Ages would have had to predict the year 2017. I'm sure they would have miserably failed.
And some people such as Stephen Hawking don't even believe we'll make it to the year 3,000.

No because Dark skin is a dominant trait and light skin is a recessive meaning that no matter what you do their will always be people with dark skin and others with light skin. You can reduce the ratio but you can't remove the genes, same with blue eyes, its recessive and as such if both parents have a recessive gene for it then their is a high probability of the child having blue eyes, that never goes away so while the ratio of people with blues eyes may not be high it will still have the same chances of occurring no matter how intermixed people become. The other issue is that in order for people to be one race we would have to constantly be introducing new people as even if you could introduce one "mixed"(we are all mixed technically) race into a region, eventually it will with limited gene pool and environmental factors become a separate group with its own unique genetic traits. You would have to constantly force different groups into the region over and over again to ensure every one stays mixed which would be highly impractical and unlikely. As for racism, their is minimal racism in the world today, its often over stated (to an extreme) however racism will never go away because the issue isn't race (scientifically speaking their is no such thing as race) its tribalism. We naturally gravitate to groups with similar cultures and people who look similar to us. Notice how subgroups dress the same, use similar terms etc?(like punk rockers, metal heads, business men and political groups) That's because we gravitate to similarity so the issue isn't race its tribalism and that's genetic so its not really going anywhere, the only thing that can be done is to be aware of it.

LittleSally · Accepted Answer

More and more possible of people blending together, but there would hardly be a mono race...
Since that would entail they're all very similar... which will never happen.

What will happen, probably, is they'll all be very different, but with similar skin coloring...

And the racism would be far worse, I would think... Why? I think when the differences aren't as obvious as skin color, they will begin to nitpick and judge others harsher on the basis of looks - so then maybe people with light eyes would be the predominantly more attractive and people with dark eyes won't be... Or people with curly hair would be more appealing than those with straight...
And the ones with curly hair and light eyes would be the most beautiful...

(I'm just spit-balling here... No way to know what will truly be the most attractive trait in later history... But this is a logical way of looking at what might be.)

Anastasiya00 · Accepted Answer

As much as I wish we didn't become mono race (I love our differences, we look different and each race has beautiful special features) I think in a far away future we will. But I think racism can still happen in different ways like maybe they will discriminate people with lighter hair, or curly hair, or freckles, dark eyes... I mean even a same race has different trait right? If every human is mixed some with have a race in different areas maybe caucasian eyes, African American hair, middle eastern nose, and another person will have native American hair, caucasian skin, and African American nose. And then people may see some superior than the other... Am I explaining myself? There are always gonna be ignorant people I think. I dunno.

kaylaS91 · Accepted Answer

No.
Most racism is not even between races or for racial differences.
For example, there is a LOT of racism within races, with east Indians coming to mind the most. Where the idea of how you are allowed to marry fellow indians of the 'right caste' continues to this day.

So.. that's a valid point to consider if maybe, once we have truly become just one massive race, maybe racism will be done for. Which I highly doubt, though, seeing as how much of an issue caste/cultural/religious differences seem to be quite the grounds for discrimination. Also, lets not forget how even within the same race, not everyone will be of the same lightness/darkness and there will be racism faced by the darker bunch by people of the same race.

PoliceLivesMatter · Answer

I say NEVER. While there are more interracial relationships today than in the 50s, people, most couples are still of the same race. It's just natural to gravitate more to someone who is similar to you, specifically, the same race as you. You always see this in couples even today. It's not going away

ADFSDF1996 · Answer

Nope, maybe only in the Americas and Australia but not in the whole world.

NicknameShirt · Answer

Rasism is just another illusion of difference. Don't get me wrong, someone dark skinned is obviously physically different than me, but it's not a difference in worth. What causes so much conflict between people is that we think we ARE our differences. As long as we think we ARE our EXPERINECE there will be conflict. Nationalities, religions, diets - as long as we strongly identify as being something that others aren't, there's conflict.
Black people think they are their race. White people think they are their race. We aren't. We experience it. The absurdity is that we hate on each other for having a different experience.
Hate based on such dumb things will obviously change if there's just one race, but manifest in other areas anyways.

We must realize that we are all one. One clan of lives, experiencing. Animals, all people, plants, we all live - and that makes us all be in a shared situation. We are all in this together - life.
Who the fuck wants to waste it on hating, torturing, bullying and killing those with a different experience?

TheLuckyPizzaDog · Answer

Dude people would just find something else to bitch about. Racism isn't the problem, the problem is that humans have some weird need to feel superior and will find or make up all kinds of shit to put themselves over others. Even if you took race out of the equation, society would just find some other factor to divide themselves over and fight about.

KDria · Answer

Will people become more mixed? Yes. It was just a few decades ago in the US where whites & blacks procreating was illegal. As we continue moving away from that, we'll see more and more mixed children. Will that stop racism? Definitely not. Will it affect it? Yes. Racism is an ideology, a way of thinking. Racism only stops when the mentality of it being logical stops. Even in people who are mixed with many races, you'll still be able to tell most of the time which race is more prominent on them. That's how racism is. Racists don't pull out and examine your genetic paperwork. They judge by what they see and if what they see is subhuman based on their opinions, then racism is still capable.

nalaa · Answer

Not in our lifetime anyway
And well you'd be surprised how homogeneous some cultures still are. Japan and Korea are still mostly "pure" for example or at least mostly Asian

I think it would need racism to be gone in order for it to be possible to get to a "monorace" and possibly it would require a monorace for racism to go away

And by the end of the day if it's not race, it's something else. We're a tribal species and we like to keep company of the people that are like us and be suspicious of those that aren't

MackFreeze · Answer

You can't abolish racism, that would also require abolishment of all race love. When people are indifferent, neither hate or love, then racism would be gone. You can't control what people think and feel. I don't support racists, but they have the right to say what they want, thats the point that anyone no matter how ridiculous can say what they want. If they act on it, that can be punishable.

Having a mono race is just like HItler's idea. That is a master race, and who gets to decide what race we all become? That is a terrible idea.

johnny_hustle · Answer

I'm going to have to say that racism will not cease to exist. I also don't believe that there will ever be just one race. Especially when considering an atavism can occur at any point making a race that was long to believed to be gone to come back. Even in the hypothetical that there was only one race us humans will find something else to discriminate against. We, as a species, have an innate sense of being better. We, as a species, will always find something wrong with another to make ourselves appear better/superior the other. There may rise a culture where straight hair is the desired trait while curly haired individuals are 2nd class citizens and in another culture on the other side of the planet the reverse could be true.

guy42069 · Answer

I don't believe that the human race will become a monorace and I think its better that way, we want a salad bowl, not a melting pot thats what I always say. Mix cultures but dont blend them all into one that just destroys all the cultures and history from before ya know? However, that being said, if humans were to become a monorace, Im sure we'd still be able to find something to be racist about. Racism is less about wanting to hurt another race than it is about wanting your own race to feel better. Thus, if someone wants to feel better than another bc of their race, they will find a way. Maybe eye color or heritage, who knows. Racism or anything like it will never go away thats a part of human nature.

Mister_sarcasm · Answer

Depends how long of a future we are talking about. If we are talking 50 years then no. If 300 years then probably yes. Though 300 years doesn't look realistic to the simple question of: will the human race even exist considering what kind of technological power and population size is going to ensue

SirenDep · Answer

The thought that we will become a mono-race is depressing. It means people won't have a national identity. Knowing where you come from and who is your ancestors is a part of your personal identity. Whole cultures and traditions would be lost, such as greek tradition, religions as well. It's a possible scenario due to globalization, the internet and mainstream culture. But I hope it won't happen. The way to end racism is not to eliminate differences. Hitler wanted to eliminate differences, and for one race to remain. Those thoughts are dangerous. The way to end racism is to show compassion to others, accept them all as brothers and sisters, and be open to the people who think differently than you. Learning about other cultures is also a way to understand them better, and consequently to be more receptive.

MlleCake · Answer

There is no such biological thing as race. Humans are all already related to one another. We differentiated in appearance through regional evolution. We will continue to evolve. Physical traits that make a person most adapted to his/her environment will continue to be passed down.

Jemini_Crocket · Answer

People will always judge you no matter how you look even though it's the main reason why people judge in the first place unfortunately.

I think we're going to be more mixed in the future than we are now, we do evolve without even thinking about how.

Ozanne · Answer

If the world does become a melting pot over time (which is predicted it will be), then yes we would eventually all have similar colouring. But that won't stop discriminating in other ways. People will still have issues with The Straight-Haired People or the Freckled Poeple. Humans will still be different enough in some ways to find some reason to separate each other. I voted B.

Rainie_ · Answer

Humans are always going to find ways to put certain groups down. "You're from the East side? Shit you must be poor/dumb", "you went to that school? You must be poor/dumb", "errr you do that kind of job? you must be lazy/poor/dumb"

cavmanier · Answer

Racism is just a small subset of a much bigger issue of discrimination. It's just the buzz topic the media and society focuses on. It's like one flake in a bowl of cereal. There's lot of other reasons people will discriminate. What happened in Rwanda is a example.

Astoriana · Answer

I doubt that discrimination against outsiders would go away entirely. It's an animal instinct to mistrust those that we don't know. It's not one that we have succeeded in getting rid of. As a general rule, humans fear that which is not exactly like them. It's not quite the recipe for tolerance.

FatherKnowsBest · Answer

The short term solution is to eradicate the racial bias in our minds. I actually enjoy the fact that we are all different in color, size, language and ethnicity. That's what makes the world exciting!

I like the fact that there are people far different from myself that I can learn from.

hi and hmmm, my first thoughts were my children, 14 and 11 and if i consider their vision it would be one human race irrelevant of anything else and that all should be treated equally. Especially the younger one, anything at all that goes against respect for each other drives her to distraction.. i appreciate her beliefs are founded by several factors some of which are through school and media in the positive sense but she is so upset that her Bulgarian friend suffers racism and hates her skin colour and is insecure. So if people of that age are still projecting hurt it troubles me really that despite all that is portrayed to us what has really changed? xx

misusedname · Answer

don't think so... fear the unknown... the common unite, the differences divide... if the race goes out the windows then there will still be the professions, wealth , influence, political affiliation, ideological affiliation, etc... a different perspective creates a different belief, a different belief creates a disagreement, a disagreement creates a divide. and the divide creates ignorance/tolerance/conflict
... by the way the question can be translated to "if the symptom is treated , would be the cause treated too?"
(((tired-maybe nonsense)))

TheZohab · Answer

Mono Race simply cannot exist due to the genetic structure of human beings, the human random factor is big and hence Humanity survival depends on differences rather than Unity.
for a start there will be limited definitions to human concepts such ass "smart, better, hard working... etc " those adjectives define our evolution and as long as we seek to be better , we can not be equals.
descrimination cannot perish as many said above, it will always reshape and find it's own name.
and as a good example last century wars were racial, this century its ideological. whatever what we are different.
in contrast, i bellieve that more descrimination will exists with the increase bloom of human population

qristhe1 · Answer

people have always their own group preference.

just because they are of the same race does not mean that other groups don't hate each other.

look at Chinese and Japanese or Korean they're the same race but they've had problems throughout the years.

look at Africa they're all the same race but they're constantly killing each other over silly reasons different families Exedra

Anon85 · Answer

People will find ways to hate each other for other things. It's our nature. Even in today's world it's easier to find us hating each other for things other than race, and I don't see that changing anytime in the near future.

So maybe racism would go away, but it would be replaced with something else. We already hate each other for the countries we were born in so that's one right there - doesn't matter what race you are some foreigners are going to hate you anyway

EpicDweeb · Answer

Racism may not always exist... but there will always be forms of discrimination, whether it be by weight, height, level of physical fitness, intelligence, heritage, etc. There will never be a time when we do not discriminate in one way or another. That's one of the main reasons communism always falls apart in the places it's tried.

RishabhSeth01 · Answer

mono race is possible. And as we grow our dna adapts the stronger traits of either of our parents.. this way.. as interrelations are mixing different races.. only the stronger traits of each race will survive in the end thus making humans perfect and it will theoretically remove all DNA flaws.. but this will take many centuries to accomplish.

No, I think there would still be black, white, Asian etc people. There are billions of black people in africa that don't marry outside of their race. same goes for asia & Europe. Humans might become a mono-race in America though and i feel like they would look more black than white or Asian.

Blitzkrieger · Answer

Thats not possible. Genes keep randomly mutating in completely unpredictable ways. The genes that help surivival in certain environments will cause them to be naturally selected. If we were to mix all races into one, genes will just continue mutating and getting naturally selected as well resulting in distinct groups once again.

Kuraj · Answer

Humans can't ever become a "mono-race" because the factors that led to the creation of races in the first place will always be present.

People who live closer to the equator will always be darker, while people who live further away will eventually lose the need for dark features.

Americans will become darker though, because the US is too much to the south for the average white person.

_caaaaaaam · Answer

We'd probably become extinct before that happens. But say that never happens, then mono-race is bound to happen. But personally, I think racism will still exist. We will probably become much more technologically advanced so we'd provably be more pickier in terms of racism. Rather than judging merely by physical features, we can probably judge someone by their generic makeup. With that line of thought, those with a more lineage of the superior race will be favored than others.

silvermoon84 · Answer

It's a nice concept really, but I highly doubt this would be the case with the whole world. Only in melting pot countries such as the United States. Besides, how boring would the world be if we all looked the same. Our physical differences are what make us beautiful.

TTSTBP · Answer

Racism will always exist. However, what most would call me racist for I just consider to be logical and common sense. Listen, people put their families first right? It makes sense, they're our families. In that same way, other white people are like my extended family; we share similar DNA. Black people have a sense of unity and family, and you can see it. I think white people need a sense of brother and sisterhood too. Race is ultimately tied in with culture, and just like when you mix cultures, when you mix races too much you create a mess. Each race is worthy of being preserved and so is each culture. This idea of equality in literally everything down to our skin color will destroy us. Just watch.

FlyingMango · Answer

world is too big. the whole idea of 'race' is simply a byproduct of differing environmental factors influencing the genetic makeup of different groups of people, largely based on region.

I do agree that many have come to move forward in interracial relationships/marriages. According to Mr. Russel Peter's, in about 300 years from now, we'll become beige (https://youtu. be/77Jl59DZ2C4). So if we don't want that to happen... we should all be for mixing races that usually don't mix... cause how boring would our world be if we all looked the same 😂

hahahmm · Answer

Actually, I think if everyone mixed almost evenly what would happen is we would still have exactly the same racial diversity in terms of looks but a couple's offspring would be more varied like 1 kid looks 'asian', one kid looks 'black', one kid looks 'white', etc. despite them having the same parents. Look at cases of couples who had twins where one looks white and the other looks black. I think race is an illusion to a huge degree but many people can't wrap their minds around it.
