I used to think it was that simple, but I don't anymore. Labeling and categorizing has become such a mundane practice that attempting to see everyone as one race is going to be a long and tedious task for this planet as a whole.

No matter how much one believes they are without racism or prejudice, It still exists to some degree in all. The evolution of man has a long way to go before we can truly become one people.

Maybe the day when each race takes the time to truly understand one another's ethnic backgrounds (and we ain't just talkin' food here) , including history and cultures that have been handed down for generations, then we will have a chance of a world without prejudice or racism.
