That's more or less what I already believe -- that is I already agree with the statement "race is primarily a social construct". Of course some sub-populations have different genetic factors which may have some handwavey amount of effects, but I'd argue that 1) having multiple distinct "races" is primarily caused by group dynamics among humans rather than genetic variation, and 2) these constructs are generally harmful and we'd be better off not having them.

I don't have a preference. Just stating what will almost certainly happen.

It's happened all throughout history before. In fact, I'm guessing most members of stormfront might be a bit surprised if they had a DNA test done.

We are all product of generations of rape and pillage and countless secret affairs behind tents. But now we can move about faster and communicate better.

>So instead of various diverse races you prefer a single mass of people with no distinct race?

I personally wouldn't mind. Society gains nothing from distinct physical characteristics, except the ability to visually identify individuals.

That's pretty much inevitable, over a long enough timeline.
