It's not coincidence.
Not mere fate we have different race's that have survived so long.

OOA is only a theory. It is not set in stone as fact so any argument stating that we all started in Africa is irrelevant. Irrelevant because it's not proven as fact as we are still finding new hominid species all over the world.

and which god would that be?
The brown Christ? or the modernized blonde/blue eyes Christ?
The blue Shiva?
The elephant headed Ganesha?
The faceless/image less Allah?
The flying Spaghetti monster? which would wipe you out because you eat all the pasts and noodles?
If there was a god, it would not look at skin colour.

Mmmm...no, not really. The earliest traces of Hominids begins there...so regardless how long the migrations took, it is still all linked to Africa.
Here is a fascinating website if you are curious about the origins of Hominids, the different branches that didn't make it and the timelines associated with it.
Smithsonian Human Evolution Timeline
I already put it out there...all races as we know them today developed in isolation due to varying environmental conditions...it is called Environmental adaption...and it is not evolution. There is a difference.
Modern definitions of what constitute the distinct races of humanity are still rooted in taxonomic classifications first developed in 18th and 19th century Europe, before the later availability of many tools of modern science, in particular population genetics (see descriptions in the article Race (classification of humans). Part of the discussion surrounding the definition of "race" among human beings has overlapped in the past with debates regarding what constitutes a distinct species, known as the "species problem".
Since the 1960s a majority of scientists have come to understand the concept of race as a social construct mapped on to phenotypes in different culturally determined ways, and not as a biological concept. A 2000 study by Celera Genomics found that human beings largely have similar genetic input, and that citizens of any given village in the world, whether in Scotland or Tanzania, hold 90 percent of the genetic variability that humanity has to offer. The study found only .01% of genes account for a person's external appearance.[20] Biological adaptation also plays a role in phenotype of bodily features and skin type. According to Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza, "Skin color and body size are less subject to genetic influence since they are also affected by exposure to the sun and diet, but there is always a hereditary component that can be quite important."[21]
