Comment on would would the average skin tone and facial features after 300 years?

  The whole race theory has been debunked over a century ago. You also have genetic difference in foot shape, blood type and many more, and a race system build on that would be as wrong as one based on skin colour

    Oh I'm not particularly informed on any of this because I don't really care tbh, but I though race was where you (and your ancestors) are from as opposed to skin colour?

      Some people use “race” to mean that, but the word you’d be looking for is ethnicity.

  There's genetic differences between you and everyone else in your family. Are you a different race to them?

    No, that's why I said general. For example people from Europe tend to have lighter skin, Scandinavian people tend to have lighter hair, African people tend to have coarser hair.

      You are just picking an arbitrary set of characteristics and calling it "race". Nature has no concept of race because we are all genetically different and there is no line that one crosses from being one race to another. Race is purely a human construct, and a very unhelpful one, as it is just another way to divide us.

  You have to ask biology, not politicians. That’s the major change!

  Biology’s answer is simple, and it hasn’t changed during the last 50 years or so.
