How much racial interbreeding can a race absorb and still keep its characteristics?

If the birthrate among a race is high enough, a small amount of intermarriage should be able to be bread out. EG with each passing generation, someone who is half foreign race becomes a quarter, then an eighth, then a sixteenth and eventually they're basically indistinguishable again. What I'm wondering is for a given birth rate, how much interracial breeding can a race absorb and still basically remain itself. I don't think the answer is zero, but I'm sure it's not very high. On the other hand, interracial marriage I don't think is high enough to threaten the existence of the main classic racial groups, even with low birthrates.

Based on my arguments, you can accept mixed race people as individuals but as a group you don't want the main groups to go extinct.

There are way too many variables for this question to be answered

But more importantly, any given race which is a discrete entity has, over time, phenotypical dynamism bcuz of environmental pressures, genetic drift and selection within the race.

Even in total isolation, it wont look exactly the same in 10,000 years
