"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say!"

When everyone can change their skin color at will, it just isn't worth the effort even thinking about superiority/inferiority of different races,

Seems to me that if you have a small town with radically different skin tones evident, and no international travel, then it must be the case that there is at best very limited mixing between different racial groups.
And it does seem rather naive to think that variable skin tone would mean no identification of racial groups. I once had to deal with email content filtering at my place of work, and it was considered necessary for us to filter out racist material, jokes and the like. It was quite evident that the most prolific passers on of offensive jokes were people of Indian extraction forwarding racist jokes about folk of Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin and vice versa. Often the same jokes with the roles reversed...

How long until they switch to Frodo's version?

How many times did Ardent get eaten over those two days?
PLACE YOUR BETS NOW.

Perhaps, but society might have been racially mixed on account of catastrophic war. It would be very plausible for massive migration into refugee camps and then once the blink happened those camps might have turned into the first post war settlements and towns. As such the old differences between the various races would likely become irrelevant. That being said there could be the usual mistrust of foreigners and people who look radically different like Ardent. However, he's traveling with 2 former super soldiers so I don't think he'll have a problem with any neo neo nazis.
According to Sedna they were 3 days away from the nearest settlement after Gavia woke up and now 2 days have passed so they should be arriving at the next settlement soon.
