Would racism be eliminated if everyone were multi-racial? Is this ultimately how racism will be eliminated in the future?

If you make everyone the same race, there will continue to the same light skin dark skin divide and/or jealousy that continues to go on in Asian and Black societies.
If you make everyone the same skin tone, people will find something else about their looks to discriminate on, for example their hair or their eyes.

It is natural human behaviour to put things (including people) into categories, as that is how we make sense of the world, and protect ourselves by making assumptions.

Beauty is relative. What is attractive to society is from defined within its group. There's no system for attractiveness that is future compatible, and there has never been. It's not a metric. To clarify what that means, certain races today (no names) are not considered to be attractive in a multicultural society. However, that did not stop the sexiest ones of that particular race to reproduce in their own country. It's quite the contrary. No model or movie star in their own society (ethnic origin country) is going to have a problem reproducing because there are better looking races abroad.

We've done ethic origin countries, now lets move onto history. If you want an example of natural selection, look at the Royal Family or the movie stars. The ones in black and white movies aren't as attractive as the people in those roles now, are they? However, those people still managed to reproduce and be considered attractive. Marylin Monroe wasn't measured on a metric themometer or water jug, which told men to freeze themselves to meet better looking men in the 21st century. (The metric system is a constant, so the value's meaning never changes. Therefore, she would score low on it, as the metric beauty system would also account for the future generations as well.)

What does this beauty being relative have to do with the original question?
I can tell you that.

Because beauty is relative, if you make everyone the same race, because everyone is the same, race will be cancelled out, as we'll consider it defunct.
As beauty is relative, we'll then consider other things to judge beauty by, such as hair, height, and eyes.

On the flip side, it would be easier for us to find mating partners if we were all the same race, as there would be less differentiation in the way, which would act as a aesthical and cultural stumbling block.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
