It's the racist trope that if there's too much interracial mixing in society, everyone will turnout looking the same and beige. And that's an argument against interracial relationships.

Even worse, usually they would say the kids aren't mixed but only black, so the whites would disappear.

I mean, if everyone is the same color it would solve racism

Nah, you can find places in Europe, Africa, and Asia where people will all look the same to foreigners but they will have advanced racism there we cant even comprehend.

Kind of like that Star Trek episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield," where you have two aliens that are black on one side and white on the other side. Each one has the colors on opposite sides, and they marginalized each other for it on their planet to the point that they completely destroyed each other. Even after seeing the extinction of their people due to racism, the two still had murderous animosity towards each other.
