Humans never evolved past tribes.

Uh we are the same race. There do not exist multiple human races in any biological sense. So what would happen is what is happening now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization)?wprov=sfti1

They'd still argue over religion. And what sports team they cheer for. And whatever else the billionaire owned media could decide to distract them with.

You... You really think we wouldn't find some other trivial differences to get overly tribal over?

We are all the same race we are just different colours. Can you imagine any other animals fighting over their looks.

.... that is not how race works.

we already ARE the same race. we constructed differences to divide us, elevate ourselves and put down outsiders without having to accomplish anything.

Imagine a world where everyone taller than 6 feet is considered a different social class. that's race.

Race was invented by them to divide us. They'll just invent something else.

Tell me you don't know what the nazies did in Eastern Europe without telling me you don't what the nazies did in Eastern Europe. Or how the Irish were considered in the USA, or the italians...

There is only the human race. Any differences in appearance is less that a % of genetic difference.

Idk man. The Sneetches “got really quite wise on that day”, but they still never guillotined Sylvester McMonkey McBean.

nah... equally looking people, indistinguishble from each other, have managed levels of hate high enough to attemp genocide

There's still Religious bigotry... That's worked as an alternative for eons

We'd still find ways to focus on what makes us different and fight about it.

No we'd come up with something else. We need to gene edit everyone to edit out the tribalism gene and replace it with a "we're all in this together" gene.

Let me tell you a bit bout a guy that I've seen.
A man known as Sylvester McMonkey McBean.

Every now and again he'd head towards the beaches
Carting along his machine, for the sneeches.

When did Dr. Seuss get so woke...

People will argue about something else. You can change the parameters of the simulation but you can't change the outcome.

Twist, it is a completely novel race, no one looks normal anymore

all people have like 99.9% of their DNA in common, that hasn't stopped them from waging wars in the past.

Hahahahahaha no, look at India.

I wish, but no.

For one, they would blame religion.

Barring that, they would find any other differences among us to blame.

Barring that, rich people will use their power and influence to make sure we find some way to blame each other instead of them.

The main reason why we refuse to blame rich people for our problems is because most of us want to be the rich people causing the problems. Until we can get that idea out of most of our heads, we shouldn't expect these problems to be solved.

I don't have much hope, personally.

Bosnia would like to have a word.

Lol wot. You think we wouldn't get all caste system in this piece son?

Any small difference in personality is gonna be used to justify what is wrong with the world.

Look. I live in a small town. The people one town over are dumb as fuck and ugly inbreeds.

They say the same about us.

See the problem? What we need is for the fucking psychologists to step up their game and develop bulletproof tests for sociopaths.

Keep them out of positions of any power and we're well on our way for a golden age of humanity.

But what race?

A see a few people here saying “they” when we should be using “we.” Just by using “they” you’re exhibiting the mindset of “they, not me” and “us vs them.” Racism is just one facet of it.

No, you don't need genetic differences for racism.

In fact, in most European languages the words "race" and "racism" are talking more about nationalities than about genetically different population groups.

For example, if you read German articles from the 1920s, they often talk about the "German race", the "French race" or the "English race". In most European languages the word "race" fell out of use after WW2 and the American meaning of the word "race" was re-imported later on. But the meaning lives on in the meaning of "racism".

For example, in German a white person from Germany who hates everyone from France irrespective of their skin color is still a racist, while in the USA that wouldn't qualify as racism.

That's because neither the word "race" nor "racism" have a clear definition. "Race" is used entirely to discriminate "them" vs "us". So "race" determines whatever group people in a country want to discriminate against.

In the USA this was clearly a "we, the while ex-european people" vs "them, the black former slaves" and "them, the asians" and "them, the south americans".

So what would happen if suddenly everyone had the same skin color? People would just shift to the next best thing to discriminate.

Instead of discriminating against black people, just do what has been done in Europe for millennia: Discriminate against slavic people. (The term "slave" comes from "slavic", because it was so common to keep slavic people as slaves.)

And if nations, religions, languages and regions of origin would also disappear as things to discriminate against, then it would shift to the next thing: people who went to a different school, have a different education or best of all: other types of poor people.

The issue is that humans are heuristics-based beings. Prejudices the result of learning. I've had 5 crappy HP printers, so I conclude all HP printers suck. Some friends have had terrible experiences with Fiat cars, so I avoid Fiat cars. I read in the newspaper that Nestle is destroying the planet, so I eat something else.

The problem is that if this is applied to humans, they get unfairly judged for things that are often completely out of their control. The core mechanism that we humans function on happens to be severely destructive in this context. But that's also why it's hard to impossible to get rid of racism and similar forms of discrimination because they are so centrally embedded in how we humans function.

The rich are the ones that made race into a problem. Racism isn't organic, it was constructed by colonialism.

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 as opposed to some "other".

So if there was only one race, the rich would need to invent new ones.
