nope color does not matter to me I tend to have the mindset of taking people at face value and if you piss me off then your not welcome in my space, not because of your color but because you pissed me off! however in saying that I probably would not like to be another color mainly because there is so much rascism around and although it is out there I do not encounter it daily. I can only imagine what goes on with people who do..... it seems frightening and sad.

Yes, you would think differently if you were another colour, because obviously you would be the offspring of alternative parents, and would therefore not have been exposed to identical character forming influences. However, I don't think this observation addresses the spirit of your enquiry.
The different cultural parameters surrounding your upbringing would also present similar likelihood of different outlook, but again this might not be what you are asking.
I don't think there is any merit in trying to homogenise humanity as some sort of "all races are equal" type of enforced parallelism. Better to realise that there is no difference in our basic humanity, regardless of tendencies, for example, of Kenyans to be the best long distance runners in the world, or Scandinavians to have the highest incidence of blond hair.
With this mindset there is no need to deny the existence of ethnicity, or to think differently regardless what colour you might be.
The acceptance of the existence of different races of mankind is not to be confused with racism. The term "race", in itself, is not to be confused with "species". If an alien visitor to our world first encountered an Austalian aboriginal person walking with a Korean, I doubt he would note that these 2 individuals were identical, though I hope he would have the good sense not to "observe" that one was somehow "better" than the other.
Racism is the divisive corruptive phenomenon, born of hierarchicacal thinking, rather than the embracement of diversity.
