Basic Trope: In the future, all humans are the same race.
- Straight: The people of Earth are all one race in the future.
- Exaggerated: In the future, every single sentient species in the galaxy is one species.
- Downplayed: The people of Earth mostly look similar to each other in the future, but culture and religion is still there.
- The construct of race no longer exists, but the human race is still as diverse-looking as ever.
- Justified: An apocalyptic scenario has caused the possible gene pool of humans to significantly shorten.
- Inverted: In the future, there is only one human of every race.
- There are ethnicities which do not exist at all or would be considered their own genetic trait or disorder.
- Subverted: It seems that the people of Earth are homogenous, but new races are discovered.
- Double Subverted: Those races go extinct.
- Parodied: There is only one race in the future, in the sense of sports. And that race is the Tour De France. Meanwhile its crowds are incredibly diverse.
- Zig-Zagged: Some planets with humans are homogenous, some aren't.
- Averted: In the future, Earth's current race ratio is kept.
- Enforced:
- Lampshaded: "Why does everyone have the same race here? Wasn't it more diverse before?"
- Invoked:
- Exploited:
- Defied: Genetic engineering is used to introduce cosmetic changes allowing for not only all combinations seen in life but some which would be genetically impossible in normal humans.
- Discussed:
- Conversed:
- Implied: Every future human on Earth has tan skin and the same eye color, but the races of the characters aren't elaborated on.
- Deconstructed:
- Reconstructed:
- Played For Laughs: Family lines have faint differences in skin tone or hair color that a modern observer cannot even detect. Even so, this leads to violent racial strife, slavery, and genocide.
- Played For Drama: The lack of diversity is explicitly the result of a genetic bottleneck.
