Whether or not "race" exists, there are distinct morphological groups of humans as a result of evolutionary adaptations to different ecosystems on Earth. One reason why humanity could all look alike soon would be the massive globalization and homogenizing of the international community through urbanization, but there would still be deviants. I doubt humanity could combine into one race anytime soon, though in the far future, if we are still extant, it could be possible.

Edit: I am speaking in terms of evolution though, not interracial sex, so I can see where I'd be pointed out as wrong. As far as an international cluture, however, that is impossible. Culture tends to develop as a result of local customs in specific regions, not as a result of race. Are Chinese and Japanese culture equivalent? Not even close. Is Nigerian culture equivalent with Zimbabwe's culture? Not even close if you read either nation's cultural history.
