No. Skin color is not a factor of race, it is a factor of geography. If a population lives long enough on one place, in a couple thousand years their skin color will be selected for the area. Darkest skin gets selected near the equator, lighter skin near the poles. For example, the caucasian race varies from light skinned Scandinavians to dark skinned Hindus.

I doubt it. Look at the variety that occurs in some families. Some kids are blonde, some brunette. Some are tall, others short. Some have lots of hair, others go bald.
There is an enormous amount of variety possible due to the way that genes can mix, and reinforce dominant or recessive traits. For everyone to be the same color would require EVERYONE to have the same basic set of genes that determine skin color. I don't think it'll happen.

No two people are the same color, and as long as we notice that, some people will presume a lighter or darker shade is preferable. And some will jump to the conclusion that it is therefore superior, making all the others inferior. Hence prejudice.

People aren't like paints mixed into one bucket. Recessive genes attributes can show up as long as they are present in both parents.
