    Let me expound more. The phenomenon I'm discussing is standard biology.
    Omg wuf, buddy. No, it's not. It could not be further from it.

    Here's an illustration: Let's say every race of humans interbred randomly. That means that Asians and Africans and whites and Latinos, everybody, partnered randomly and produced offspring. This would result in no more Asians, no more Africans, no more whites, etc.. Humankind would become one mono-race. The differences between the races we have today would vanish, and this would result in less diversity of the species. To the degree that race diversity positively affects fitness, the deterioration of it would reduce humankind's fitness.

    Fully integrating diverse groups deteriorates their diversity. Zero integration between groups is also awful for fitness.
    No population evolves to be less fit. A gene's fitness is defined by it's ability to result in reproduction. The gene that reproduces is the most fit. So if somehow a brownish mono-race would evolve. It would be because it's the most fit one. By definition.

    For a quick catch-up on the usefulness of racial classification in humans, I recommend this chapter from The Ancestor's Tale: goo.gl/bwjV46

    This is one of the more edgy views on human races in biology and I recommend reading the entire chapter because it can be easily quotemined to justify some xenophobic nonsense.

    You don't lose genetic diversity by interbreeding races. Those genes don't disappear. Neither do they blend like colors. The full sets are still available to be used in the next generation.


    Ong is correct in pointing out that even in your hypothetical where you would remove all types of selection pressures that go into the production of a new human being, instead you just randomly shuffle sperm and eggs around (why you would do that is a different matter) - even then, the individuals would revert back to their racial differences you see today within a couple of generations once returned to the usual selection mechanism.
    You see exactly that happening with stray dogs once left to their own devices will return to wolf like behaviors and features in a very short time even after thousands of years of artificial selection.
