When racism dies out

[Lady Murasaki]

As it inevitably will one day. (Don't cry Viper.) What will we have lost?

Why don't you prevail upon Doc Brown and Marty McFly to give you a ride into the future, setting the Delorean's controls for a trillion, billion years from now, find out what the people around then think of it ever dying out, then come back and let us know?

Because that's just lazy. I'd rather just ask you. What will be lost?

Should this come to pass, we will have lost nothing of any worth.

Religion is the biggest problem around today. It surpasses these so called 'racial' boundaries. It will be the killer of the masses if left unfetted

You are making the common mistake of assuming that the nature of our species is evolving to a point where we will no longer do bad things.

Human irrationality.

You PC lefty lot will have lost the use of your favourite and frequently overused word?

This is true.

We are still essentially the same savage Pleistocene ape who conquered the world.

The veneer of civilisation is wafer thin.

The film 'The Road' is a realistic example of this.

It'll never happen... and, TBH, I'm kind of glad.

Thing is, you'll only ever get rid of racism when we're all absolutely identical to one another in every way and, to me at least, that'll mean the world has become an incredibly drab and monotonous place.

So, that being the case, what we'll have lost (probably) is diversity.

Honestly, I don't think it's possible that we will arbitrarily stop being racist.
To do so would require that we abandon all rational, objective judgement as well.
I mean, some people simply ARE more suitable for a given task than others.
If you want to build a spaceship you MUST hire people who're good at maths and science. You can't just hire the first 100 people who walk through the door and hope for the best.
Similarly, if you need to build an army you MUST hire people who're physically fit and have an aptitude for the task.

That being the case in the vast majority of walks of life, there'll always be people who apply critical-thinking improperly and conclude that entire groups are better than others.

I'd guess that by saying travel a trillion, billion years into the future, then asking the people of that time if THEY think racism will ever die out, Traveller inferred that it would still be alive and kicking in the future.
I can't say what would be lost if racism died out, it's more a case of gaining if it did I suppose.
My own take on it is a bit like Chris Rock's HBO special, Bring the Pain, where he claims that there are two kinds of black people, regular black people, whom he likes, and niggas, whom he deplores.
He says there is more racism among blacks than there is among whites, he says that regular black people despise niggas more than whites do.
Niggas do the mugging and crime, and end every sentence with, "know what I'm say sayIn'?", regular black folks are then tarred with the nigga's brush.

Another 'ism' will take it's place. We seem to need a reason to hate our fellow man.

It seems innate - we are a very tribal species with an inbuilt hatred of 'the other'.
