No, we'd simply find some other difference to get divided on.

    It'd be regions/land-based, probably. "Southern pride," etc...just without the racism. Fuck those star-bellied sneeches across the river.

    Unfortunately it's the wealthy people who decide.

    Having lived in a majority white city where they divided themselves between countries of origin, this would happen.

    Until a large Hispanic influx northeast PA had Italian sections, Irish sections, Lithuanian sections, Polish sections, etc. When my ex’s grandmother met me she asked me “what are you?” despite us both being white.

    In the show All In The Family, Archie isn't just bigoted against non-caucasians; he's bigoted against the polish, Irish, Italians, etc... He's less bigoted against those groups than he is against non-whites, but still bigoted. He's also bigoted against catholics

    Exactly. This is why people say race is a construct.

    If we all became the same race then some self labeled ingroup would construct (i.e. create) new criteria to label others as an outgroup eventually creating new races.
