race
Definition
Race refers to a group of people who share distinct physical characteristics, such as skin color, facial features, or hair texture, often associated with a common ancestry or geographic origin. In social contexts, it is used to categorize humans based on these inherited traits, though the concept is widely recognized as a social construct rather than a biological reality. This term is commonly discussed in topics related to identity, diversity, and equality.
