Future of the human race

Ok, let's try this here where people can actually say something.

I've noticed something about people in general and it's quite interesting.

For years I've heard that in the future, mankind will be of one race instead of many due to, well, the obvious.

From an article in the BBC's archives: "Racial differences will be ironed out by interbreeding, producing a uniform race of coffee-coloured people."

 If that is true, then why hasn't it happened already? is technology a factor? Religion? or is it genetics?
For an example, let's take two known races in America: White and Black. (oooh yes I went THERE, deal with it)

What could be the reasons that these races haven't started to mix much yet?

Here's some of my findings from asking a select group of 100 students from my university.

Most white males say they do not like black women, as far as having a relationship. And when they're asked why, some have no answer. Some say "they're ugly". Some say "they're a different culture". some say "well I respect them but I wouldn't want to mix with them in that way". Some even said that "they wouldn't admit it or would try to hide it if they liked black women or considered finding one".

However, there are some interracial relationships! and I know some famous black/mixed/dark-skinned girls that every man wishes he could have a night with. I have seen pictures of very beautiful black women in my life, and some have even done nude modelling (They are smart in doing that too!).

But for the most part, I don't see much of this "racial mixing" and when I do it's Asian-Caucasian, Native American-Caucasian, or something subtle. I don't see many black-white around at all. Perhaps region is a factor: I live in the south where the 1960s still bring back bad memories in the older generation.

Upon asking a friend about this phenomenon, I learned something shocking. He said that some black people shun other blacks that mix with white people, regardless of the situation! They call them something derogatory like "oreo" or "bleached" which I find very peculiar, as if it is a dishonour to their "race" that someone has an interracial relationship. Where the hell is this thinking coming from? Could it be something genetic?

Is mankind going to be all one race as scientists predict or is this just a prediction with no scientific merit? or is it too soon to say for sure?

Well, interracial relations are slowing rising. There are far more light-skinned people then ever before. I remember when people use to glorify them because they were somewhat rare. I dont think there will be one race though. There is just far too many diversities. But then again, History repeats itself..in every aspect. In the beginning of time their was only one race. They were bronze-like. however, half the population split and went to colder climates. Those colder climates caused an evolution in humans, resulting in white people. thats why white people are less cold when in..cold temperature. But over the years, after so many mixing, maybe eventually everyone will be one race, one color. and thats when the world will end because it is the beginning of the end of history.

"If that is true, then why hasn't it happened already?"

Most of the world has frowned on mixed-race relationships, until recent decades. That's maybe 40 yrs out of 5,000 yrs of written history.

I'm over 60 and have been around ... most of the world STILL frowns on it. 

with the poisoning of water tables by nuclear energy and mining uranium it's a non-issue.

we'll all be mutants eventually anyway...

I am from the future, this does not happen. Everyone will come to look like me.

p.s. you do know the half-life of uranium is essentially a longer period of time than the human race has been around right?

i cant wait to be a mutant. no wait. i can.

I have interracial cousins who are very nice people. I don't have a problem with it.

more "white" ppl have robbed me than any other race. and i'm "white".

so much for stereotypes...

No one here has mentioned any "problem" with it.

It IS a relatively recent phenomenon, however, and the issue is whether it will continue.

8.>>>

Anecdotal and irrelevant.

ok, so if it continues.... people will look Hispanic, I guess, lol

May well, although what we call 'Hispanic' today has more indigenous (native) blood than Spanish ... by far.

It's a fact, though, that cultural insularity is more the norm than the exception today; especially in Asia.

hmmmm.... well, I guess the Spanish were less into Mexico than the Aztecs and their pals were.
