Re: Writing sci-fi question

[(Anonymous)]

It is reasonable there would be more mixed race people in the future.

Really though it is going to depend on your POV voice and how much they notice. If the green eyes with medium brown skin doesn't stick out to them, then they aren't going to call much attention to it. (Eyes are tough b/c many people don't notice eyes until they are really close and it's really important. We overuse eyes in fiction.)

Unless you're in 3rd Omni or it's super plot important, stick to what your character knows about and cares about. Because if you mention race, you're drawing attention to it and therefore it is important to the reader. It can be cool to not actually draw attention to race in the story, just their skin color and hair and leave it unidentified.. Like "Oh, this person is mixed race, cool cool."

One of the coolest things about "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls" by Heinlein is he never explicitly mentions the character's race until the near end of the book when it becomes plot important. (The Main character is black.) And I've seen other fantasy books where the skin color is mentioned but nothing ever comes of it, "oh it's just a BIPOC person having adventures in a fantasy world where our racism doesn't exist. Woot."

So figure out what is important when and if it is important to the story to show or tell if there is race.(And the word brown is your friend. Tan is good too. Food metaphors are not.)
