Rational question. Let me give you a little B5 wisdom... "Humans build communities wherever they go. They recognize and acknowledge the differences between themselves and those around them, and from that diversity is born a wisdom and strength that the universe itself is powerless to withhold..."
Basically, it is our differences that make us stronger. Different cultures, different colors, different backgrounds, different experiences. If we were all the same shade, and had all the same physical traits, the world would be a terrible place to live. Can you imagine every girl or guy you ever dated looking exactly like the last one? What would you have to look forward to in the initial phases of a relationship? After all, isn't the first attractor of the opposite sex usually something to do with the physical body? By that I mean, what's the first thing you notice about a girl? is it her legs? her smile? her eyes? something else? Or the first thing you notice about a guy? his spare tire belly? his lips? his eye color? something else?
Think about the wars we have had over time. How many were started by some anger over a physical difference? Yet, how many times has the human race grown evolutionally or technologically from those wars? Think Velcro and Microwave ovens. Think the difference between bows and arrows and crossbows, which eventually led to other shoulder-fired weapons like guns, the powder from which is used to make fireworks used for celebrating.
Point is, if we were all exactly the same, the diversity within each of us wouldn't exist, and therefore, the consequences of that diversity, both good and bad, would not exist. Therefore, as a race, we also probably would not exist, at least not as we are today.
Hope this helps...

There would be no diversity, so the world would be boring. Some might think it would end racism, but it seems to be human nature to divide up. People would find other reasons to hate. Grim but true.

People would just find something else to bicker about. It's the nature of our species. Even if we were all alike, we'd still find reasons to not get along.

No difference. There are a myriad of things for which you can hate someone else for no good reason.

that would be boring.
But people will find a way to still discriminate against anyone that is different (shorter, bigger, whatever!)

You'd still be ugly. Why fight it?
