But hypothetically speaking, even if we did, racism or even different phenotypes wouldn't disappear. There'd still be relatively darker and lighter skinned people, various eye colours and hair textures, facial features, and there'd still be beauty standards saying "these people over here are better looking and more superior to you over there".
Never know if we don't try. I have done my part.
That's fine, I didn't mean "we shouldn't have to" to say that people shouldn't have interracial relationships, that would make me a hypocrite as I'm attracted to men of other races myself. I meant we shouldn't have to water down and erase our racial identities just to stop racism.
But what I said about inheritance holds, very few people inherit exactly 50/50 genes and physical characteristics from their parents, you can inherit a mixture of their features or even "hidden" features that you get from generations further back (like people randomly getting blue eyes in a family of brown eyes, like I did).
Genetics can be unpredictable and have randomness to them, you'll never be able to racially homogenize humanity by mixing everyone up, it doesn't work that way. What we'd end up with is a larger-scale version of what you see among black Americans (most of whom are mixed to some degree) with "team lightskin vs team darkskin".

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
