    If the human race still exists in 100,000 years I think you'll see 1 race that's a mix of all races. Personally I don't think humanity will still be around 2,000 years from now with the way things are going now with wars, disease, etc...

    more segregated? i find that hard to believe. well, maybe it is. not in my PART of the world though. in fact, just the opposite here...nobody seems to think of interracial relationships as anything out of the ordinary, wierd, wrong, cool, novel, interesting, anything. just another relationship. at least thats my experience.

    of course there are exceptions.

    but i live in a part of town full of mexicans, blacks, african immigrants, a few asians (buddhist temple right nearby) and a bunch of white folks, too.....see all types of people walking to the grocery or wherever they're heading. its cool, i think.

    i dont think we'll ever all become one single race. we'd first of all need all countries to get along and open up borders, there could be no isolationism of any kind anywhere in the world. we'd need to erase all cultural differences and customs, and all behave and think in exactly the same manner. we'd need to eliminate all forms of bigotry 100%. while we could debate the merits of disadvantages of any of these situations, i dont think any of them are realistic expectations for the next 1000 years at least. i really have the feeling that our concepts of ethnicity are changing drastically, and within the next few thousand years, if civilization can make it that long, certain ethnic groups will "disappear" by either dying off, genocide, or being absorbed into a different ethnic group, i think new ethnic groups will be defined, and i think that some of the old ones may still exist but either be smaller or larger percentages of the population, may look slightly different from now, may be further defined into smaller groups (nolong "caucasian" or "white"....split into northwestern european descent, mediterannean descent, east european, etc.) and a whole host of other possibilities exist.

    but i think that even if people continue to live for thousands of more years, politics will play a bigger role than anything. even if we eliminate ethnically based bigotry and make it "ok" for people to intermarry (as if they need permission or acceptance to pursue love) we will still have countries and states that dont like each other for political reasons. isolationism, or simply very closed borders, will ALWAYS exist in some form, in my opinion, and as such certain portions of the gene pool will always be isolated from each other. there may be drastic shifts in the way race looks down the road, but i dont think that there will ever be one single ethnicity for the entire world. i think that possibility is about as realistic as marx's vision of an egalitarian utopia, or of the founding fathers' vision of a capitalist system in which anyone who works hard can become rich just based on the merit of hard work and intelligence....none of these ideas are sound.

    you mean the myth of race? the only reason anyone has ever failed to realize that it is, is the 'divide and concur' short sightedness of self serving political ambitions.

    Single Race as in same physical features? I highly doubt that, because there are other factors involve beyond interracial. For instance, the environment, climate, and resources that surrounds us will have a dramatic impact on the way we develop physically.

    Two identical twins raised in different regions of the world will have noticable differences, maybe no longer identical.

    Personally I see it going alot like this:

    ANglo-saxon/other European whites will eventually one day try to pull another racial war by assasinating negro peoples. The black negroes will be put right into slum and then Orientals will launch a technological attack on whites and then Arabs will finally get caughted up in extremeism....

    I dont like it but its just the way its going to go.

    Not identical, but very similar. People aren't robots like the Arnold in the Terminator :)

    I think races will continue to mix, until everyone on the planet is made up of at least a little bit of each ethnicity; thus ending racism, because everyone will be a part of the same super-race, or some shit such as that. I also think that is the only possible way to end racism, once and for all. It will take a long time though. lol

    I see your point, and it is definatly valid but I cant see that happening because of such a wide population which is growing.

    I truly think it will happen eventually, probably not in any of our lifetime though.

    We'll all be the Goobacks from South Park. The only word that will be the same is "balls".

    people of more of one perctage are better than people of less than that percentage. I dunno, they might be right. Anyway people will always find a reason to be crappy to each other.
