Depends on how the Aliens look
An external threat would be a good uniting force.
Yes.
Nothing unites like a new enemy.
Unless said enemy is a conqueror employing divide&conquer.
Racism is too ingrained to dissapear buddy,though that would be a good distraction.and depends if the Aliens are hostile or notI think it would. It would be a shocking moment of "togetherness" for humanity and give people fighting for equity a new foothold in the fight against racism. On the other hand, I think that there would be a fairly big pocket of racists that remained, because a rotten apple is a rotten apple no matter what happens in the world around it. A lot of them would just shift their racism to aliens instead. I do, however, think that even some of these hate-fueled bigots would stop or at least lessen their persecution of minorities in favor of persecuting or vilifying aliens instead.
It would open a whole new can of worms. I think a lot would also depend on how advanced or peaceful the aliens were.
What do you think?
What was that fantasy novel that said "why would white and black fight each other when they're too busy ganging up on green [orcs]?"
Basically would be like that eventually.
It's from Witches Abroad from the Discworld booksRacism was not a problem on the Discworld, because -- what with trolls and dwarfs and so on -- speciesism was more interesting. Black and white lived in perfect harmony and ganged up on green.
Humans would probably focus more on racism against the aliens and ban sentient snail immigrants or something.
"These snailien ABOMINATIONS are DESTROYING OUR CULTURE AND TAKING OUR JOBS!"

Trump is president of Earth?
He's definitely the most powerful person on the planet as the sitting POTUS and god damn it that sucks to say.Donald Trump, president of the world.
Aliens are never coming. They see this shit here and will say "I don't want any part of this" and will leave. Or, hopefully​, they would take the republicans back to their home on the sun.
I like to think one day some super advanced civilization will appear before us and they're black.
My laugh would drown out all audio ever created by man.

Spracists.All it would do is give us space racists.
Men will fuck anything with two legs lol
I doubt it unless the aliens are aggressive
Yep, that's the only way I can see humanity banding together.
Though of course there would be those who would betray our kind. Man, humankind is fucked up lol.
TV has taught us that during the zombie apocalypse the zombies are not the biggest enemy.Though of course there would be those who would betray our kind. Man, humankind is fucked up lol.
Even then, once the threat is gone, we'd go right back to being terrible to each other. I mean, we "unified" against the Nazis in WW2. But then black Americans and black veterans went right back to being treated like garbage as soon as the war was over. Don't see why something like this would be any different.If the aliens pose apocalyptic enough a threat to us as a species, as in they want to exterminate us then yes I do believe that humanity would rally under one big umbrella to fight back. Nothing short of that will do it though.
