With all the interracial mixing happening in the world, I have a strong belief that most humans will have mixed to become a color between white and black.

If there were no race distinctions, racism would, per se, stop. Unfortunately, we would find lots of other ways to discriminate against others and exclude them from our groups, e.g., wealth, education, intelligence, hair color....

No, I don't believe it would. Even if the entire world was one race, ethnicities and cultural identities would still exist independent of "colour". Racism isn't a simple matter of feeling superior because of ones skin colour, it is because of the characteristics associated with those that happen to possess a given skin tone. Removing variations in colour will not erase feeling of superiority based on these characteristics. In teh context of racism, we can see "colour" as a representation for a set of attibutes that go beyond skin tone.
Becoming "mixed to become a color between white and black" as you put it ignores the fact that Asian and Indian populations supersede caucasian or black populations substantially.

We are all already brown in skin tone just not the same shade. Have you ever really seen a white skinned person? How about a black skinned person? Racism stops when you classify others in the same group as yourself.

Your question is racist. Why didn't you ask - If humans were all white in skin tone, would racism stop? Racism is not limited to whites hating blacks. Racism is any race hating any other race. Your question really implied: If all white people were black, would racism stop?

I don't think so. Discrimination comes in many forms and all discrimination comes from ignorance. So it wouldn't matter that people may have the same skin colour. They would discriminate based on eye colour, body size, religious beliefs, sexuality, etc. It's unfortunate but true.

No it isn;t about skin color at all it is the way the different groupes act. Look at stereotypes. they are based on perception how people act for instance , Mexicans like low riders, blacks wear their pants below their hips. Black women are argumentive italians are mafia. jews are salesmen Don't blast me for saying this, it is just an example.

NO, because what if everyone was a different shade of brown? you could be light brown and I could be dark brown. So, no racism would not stop if everyone was brown in skin tone.

We'd probably find some other "ism" to hate people for. Until the aliens land and then the world unites against them

Well I think so but the world would still not be a perfect place. But it would prevent racism

I'm sure absent skin color as a source for prejudice, we would find something to discriminate against.
