> The author of the piece even feels the need to mention both "race" and "ethnicity" to pad out the words Do you understand the difference between the words? I can't figure out any other context in which this comment makes sense.

Cause it doesn't.

In case the OP is genuinely ignorant of the difference: race is a psuedo-scientific category based on a person's skin color. For example a person could belong to the Latino ethnic group and yet appear to be white or black. Another case someone could be African American or Yoruba and yet both would be considered black, despite the major cultural differences.

  Not according to the dictionary.

    It would be helpful if you could specify which dictionary you used, which definitions are given by that dictionary and why none of them match.

    Don't worry, as a non-white I am quite accustomed to having race whitesplained at me.

Since the author also brought up "emotional intelligence" as a critical soft skill, I gave up reading it and just moved on. Article is bs. "Digitalization" is a buzz word that hints at how technology is changing the workforce. Unfortunately, technology is not doing any of us any favors. It has not freed us in any way, it has done quite the opposite, in fact.
