as well.

A "tree" does not exist. An "arbol" does not exist. An "arbre" does not exist. The thing that various peoples have named it does.

So the exercise is to determine what the term "race" is referring to. Is it skin color alone? Is it Nationality? Is it Ethnicity?

This article brings up some of the same questions (it was linked in the first article I posted): https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/05/what-we-mean-when-we-say-race-is-a-social-construct/275872/
