God I hope so.

In an effort to preserve racial phenotypes within a homogenously mixed society?

No.

People who live in Asia will mostly live and die in Asia. People who live in Africa will mostly live and die in Africa. If a mass migration happened that brought all the people to one country, then shit would probably be fucked, and thus the genetical importance of diversity would not take any sort of priority.

Yet there is a general trend of mixing that will continue to occur in the future. you don't envision a time in which people will generally all come from the same mix?

No, not really.
1) I don't think we'll live that long
2) If we reach that point, I'm sure science will solve anything, just like it'll solve literally every problem ever all praise science. But seriously, we're beginning to get a hint of what genes are, and now we just have to identify everything, and learn how to manipulate the DNA to get what we want
3) I believe that mutations will happen if that point in time comes, because our cells incorrectly copy the DNA sequence every day. Don't take my word for this though, this is just my educationally limited guess

Scratch what I've said.

What will segregation do except slow down the process?
