"Race" is an outdated term that is rightly being supplanted by terms such as "geographic locus," "ethnicity" and "ancestry."
There is, AFAIK, only one sentient primate "race" on the Earth, Homo Sapiens.
And the members of that species are, genetically, incredibly closely related.
Differences in melanin content, bodily proportions and other immutable traits don't rise to the level of a different species for Homo Sapiens.
As such, referring to disparate groups by their geographic locus, ethnicity or ancestry is much more precise than using outdated terms like "race."
It's not about "wokeness" or "political correctness." Rather, it's about precision and more useful groupings of individuals.
