Or better said: Race Maters (only) Because of Class Distributions; So eliminate differences in class distributions and race doesn’t matter.
We can still demonstrate natural kin affinity but race stops being a political problem when the lower classes are not advocating for their elites to obtain privileges for them. Conversely, elites cannot use race to cause political division if underclasses do not exist.
I get in trouble with the right because I’m not a racist. But I’m not. I’m definitely a classist. But aristocracy round the world gets along just fine. It’s our underclasses that cause all the issues.
Now we encounter one problem that is fairly obvious upon reflection: that armies require the underclasses. And those without armies cannot hold territory. The only alternative has been the use of professional warriors who are themselves an expensive class.
