If I'm remembering correctly, genetic race is determined by a maximum of 17 genes in the genome. Geographic separation has led to gene pool homogenization of certain racial groups, I don't define myself by the color of my skin or what country my family lived in generations ago. I don't see what needs to be celebrated about ancestors having been born in a certain country, and I certainly don't feel any sense of pride in that nation's accomplishments.
When I said "the sooner we're all the same color..." I was referring more to the breakdown of peoples' ideas that their differences are anything other than superficial than an actual hope that we're all the same color.
