Daniel asked Will we ever live in a world without racism?

No, I don't think so. But people sometimes seem to be saying, "there will always be racism!" as if that means that everyone should just accept racism and be complicit in it. That's ridiculous, racism doesn't have to rule just because it exists.

We'll see how far transhumanism goes.

Yes, if "Race of the Future" becomes a thing (a single composite race after ages of racial mixing).
Though I'm certain humanity will find a way to be prejudiced in other ways.

Sadly, I have to say no

I can only see it happening when humans have to become their own tribe in opposition to a global threat. And even then it would probably have to be a good few hundred years of race progress too.

no, doesn't mean we have to tolerate it though, not as individuals and not through policy

No, it's part of the human condition, race is just easy because people usually wear it around with them all the time...if it wasn't race, it'd be some other way people divide themselves - but that doesn't mean we give up on setting ideals and enforcing them legally and even socially/culturally - racists should be treated socially similar to pedophiles TBH, shun their asses - but it's harder because while very few white people think Uncle Lou is a pedophile, tons of white people have an Uncle Lou they know has a racist worldview. If ya'll can't stand up and say shit to Uncle Lou, I have zero expectation or hope that anybody's going to stand up in any meaningful way to the wealthy and powerful

I doubt it. Tribalism is an inherently human characteristic and race/ethnic origin is uniquely tied to a person's identity.

Not in this world. We need a new humanity.

No. Majority rule

Think about it: A Bavarian isn't happy about his new neighbours and explains it like this, some of my best friends are Prussians, but this Prussian isn't from where we live, and he totally looks like a fucked up Prussian.
