Lamanites are supposed to turn white according to BOM. But as for Arabians, South East Asians, Blacks this is what McKonkie said: "We know only the general principle that all these changes from the physical and spiritual perfections of our common parents have been brought about by departure from the gospel truths." " The race and nation in which men are born in this world is a direct result of their pre-existent life" "Racial degeneration resulting in differences in appearance and spiritual aptitutde, has arisen since the fall" (M. Doctrine 616, Doc of Sal vol 1:148-151 vol 3:313-326)
Since these are results of the fall according to "right wing" Mormon logic everyone will turn into a white Aryan at the last day?
"The progress of the work in Africa is growing by leaps and bounds! Now that the Curse has been lifted, all of the faithful in Africa have the opportunity to become white and delightsome in the Celestial Kingdom! They will life throughout eternity without the mark of the flat nose and dark skin! Is not Heavenly Father great in all His might and mercy?"

Not that you are wrong about the imaginary afterlife.
It is just silly to say there is no skin color. Of course there is skin color. It is also silly to say that it isn't defining because it is. What it is not, is important and that, I think, is what you are trying to say.
But if each TBM male gets his own planet (plus wives) and they do not mix racially, there will be no neighbors of different races! OTOH, how did our god mix races here?
Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so. Anyone who disagrees with me on this is an Anti-Mormon.
The teaching USED TO BE that black TBMs in the CK would live in the servants quarters right next to their white TMB masters:
"Think of the Negro, cursed as to the Priesthood. Are we prejudiced against him? Unjustly, sometimes we are accused of having such a prejudice. But what does the mercy of God have for him? This negro, who, in the pre-existence lived the type of life which justified the Lord in sending him to the earth in the lineage of Cain with a black skin, and possibly being born in darkest Africa—if that negro is willing when he hears the gospel to accept it, he may have many of the blessings of the gospel. In spite of all he did in the pre-existent life, the Lord is willing, if the Negro accepts the gospel with real, sincere faith, and is really converted, to give him the blessings of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. If that Negro is faithful all his days, he can and will enter the celestial kingdom. He will go there as a servant, but he will get a celestial resurrection. He will get a place in the celestial glory. He will not go then with even the honorable men of the earth to the terrestrial glory, nor with the ones spoken of as being without law." --Apostle Mark E. Petersen, 27 Aug. 1954
From "On This Day in Mormon History:"
May 18, 1894 - In Salt Lake Temple, "Jane Elizabeth Manning (a Negro woman) is sealed as a servitor for eternity to the Prophet Joseph Smith." Joseph F. Smith acts as proxy.
