What would the average skin tone and facial features look like after 300 years if every partner relationship was interracial until there were no other ethnicities? Just a hodgepodge of DNA. What would the average human look like having a little bit of everything in them?

I just think the idea is neat is all.

    I mean there are general genetic differences due to where people are from. Is that not what a race is?

      The whole race theory has been debunked over a century ago. You also have genetic difference in foot shape, blood type and many more, and a race system build on that would be as wrong as one based on skin colour

        Oh I’m not particularly informed on any of this because I don’t really care tbh, but I though race was where you (and your ancestors) are from as opposed to skin colour?

          Some people use “race” to mean that, but the word you’d be looking for is ethnicity.

      You have to ask biology, not politicians. That’s the major change!

      Biology’s answer is simple, and it hasn’t changed during the last 50 years or so.

      There’s genetic differences between you and everyone else in your family. Are you a different race to them?

        No, that’s why I said general. For example people from Europe tend to have lighter skin, Scandinavian people tend to have lighter hair, African people tend to have coarser hair.
