I agree with the sentiment, but merely want to point out that some would argue that ignoring race completely makes it difficult to address the issues racism still causes. Nevertheless, a world where skin color is as relevant as eye color is one worth moving towards.

It's weird, in Hawaii, people have a very cavalier manner of speaking about race distinctions, as a byproduct of diverse immigration. It's a normalized part the broader island culture to tease each other based on race stereotypes. Now I'm in Oregon, and Portlanders can get very tight/tense when talking about race.

It's a predominantly white liberal city, which is a counterweight to the state's rough history of KKK and white supremicism. Some POCs feel the woke movement's hyperfixation on race identity has actually made them more uncomfortable, while others lean into the opportunities that have opened because of it. Shit's weird, dawg.

Xpaper, you're right. I don't mean to suggest ignoring it to the point of ignoring issues, or culture for a related matter. Unfortunately, society as a whole isn't showing signs of systemic issues going away any time soon.
