Not a goddamn thing. Having a different skin color used to be a leading cause of death for many ages. It's still going strong in many countries.

I think I know what you mean. It holds the thought that unless we all look alike, we can't stand other differences.
You probably don't see it as much as an English speaker as I as a representative of a small culture, how easily we might lose cultural differences as well, language and habits. These are in many cases tied to appearance.
What to do about it?
