How long until ethnicity is no longer a thing?

[Imp]

As long as the government doesn't discover the gingers in my breeding camps, and as long as my "children" do not stop my project, never.

You can let them go.. For some reason, the ginger gene is not Caucasian exclusive. That or Afghanistan residents have no access to any modern amenities, but they have orange/red hair die.

I thank you.

Hopefully your kid's grandkids experience 1/4 of the racism we have today, or get to exist at all (depends on your newsletter subscription).

If they are somewhat white, they will indeed experience a lot of racism.

I presume the OP is talking about race, rather than ethnicity; no biggie, lots of people don't make that distinction (including forms.)

I really doubt there will ever be one ethnicity.

I *believe* technically Afghanis (most of them anyway) are caucasian. Arabs are considered caucasians, i think.

It's a tricky thing some of this stuff.

It's sort of a "all whites are caucasian, but not all caucasians are whites" thing. Though actually that may not work either, since Ashkenazi Jews are white but not caucasian... not fully caucasian anyway.

Yeah to have one ethnicity everyone would need to be a part of the same culture, following the same traditions, language, etc. That will never happen.

Race on the other hand, has a much better chance of happening, but the odds are still very slim I'd say.

The only thing that will lead to a "raceless" society is a full-on race war to the death. No one wants that (well, very few people want that, and the ones that do aren't worth keeping around). So, to answer your question, never.

Don't know but we still don't get over it in the 23rd century.

Okay... More importantly, can you explain how there are gingers in Afghanistan and Pakistan?

I am working on it. Be right back in a few.

I remember seeing that episode when I was a child. It always kind of freaked me out.
