In some far future utopia we will've all interbred and evolved to a nice caramel/olive skin and our descendents will imagine us as cavemen. If we mange to make it that long.

I gotta say this is actually something I'm disappointed by.

Not because I want white people to survive forever or think any race is better than the other but because I like the idea of living in a world with other races. Like a fantasy setting with different types of elves or whatnot.

I like the diversity and would love to see just how different each race could become while still being the same species.

There are some Frank Herbert books you're gonna love.

And Seveneves.

I mean, that has already happened in our history. The result is that the lion’s share of humans are 1-4% Neanderthal. Not to mention ancestry from Denisovans and possibly others.

The end result of a DnD world is a bunch of humans with slightly pointy ears and big teeth.

Same. If I stood naked against a white wall and closed my eyes you would swear I had disappeared.

I don't glow in the dark, I'm just pretty much see-through. I also burn in a matter of minutes in the sun.

I thought that people with darker skin dont need it that much compared to people with lighter skin, especially people with really white skin that instantly get sunburn?
