If all racism were magically and totally eliminated, would the racial makeup of all jobs, ideologies, and communities eventually reach equivalent percentages of the larger population?
(E.g., if 15% population is blue, then 15% of all subgroups are also blue)

There's also the possibility, likelihood maybe, that without any racism at all, we may just eventually mix Gene's until every individual person is 15% blue.

One important consideration is that if racism were completely eliminated (given a sufficiently broad definition of racism) then it seems likely that humanity would eventually homogenize into a single race.

Depends. Is cultural preference still a thing, or is every person actually not noticing the color of skin any more? Because people might still identify with their perceived group - is that racism? I say no, but it would be super easy to fall into the trap of saying that it is.

No, all people would breed without regard to race and races as we know them would disappear in a few generations. If 15% of the population were blue at the start, all people would be 15% blue in a few generations.

Even if you randomized everything (including offspring), you'd still not get that. This doesn't mean we should not strive to give people the opportunity.

At a very minimum, if people tend towards the trades/ideas/etc, you can still get traditions that track racial lines. There's also race difference specific things, like black people being more likely to be professional hair braiders because they learned to braid their own.
