A group of people defined by biological traits that are defined as socially significant.

A socially defined group which sees itself and/or is seen by others as being different from other groups in its common descent or external features, such as skin colour, hair texture, or facial characteristics.

Includes color and/or ethnicity.

A group of people with common ancestors, who have similar physical characteristics eg: hair colour, eye colour or skin colour, or belong to the same group or country.

The Census Bureau collects and publishes racial statistics as outlined in Standards for Maintaining, Collecting and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (formerly known as Statistical Policy Directive No. 15) issued by the Office of Management and Budget. This directive provides standards on ethnic and racial categories for statistical reporting to be used by all Federal agencies. Race data are required by Federal programs that promote equal employment opportunity and are needed to assess racial disparities in health and environmental risks, among other uses. According to the directive, the basic racial categories are: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Black or African-American, and White. Like ethnicity, the concept of race used by the Census Bureau reflects self-identification by respondents. All respondents in the Census are asked separate questions about their Hispanic origin and their race.

A group of individuals with enough characteristics in common to permit their recognition as a group within the largest classification of species. Particularly used in maize. Smith text, p. 8.

On Eternal Struggle race is not as simple as skin colour. There are completely different species available for you to choose and play. Each have different attributes and are very different from each-other. The differences between the races are strong and diverse. Different races have different attributes entirely, ranging from strength or dexterity to more complex roleplaying attributes such as loyalty and stamina.

A socially defined population that is derived from distinguishable physical characteristics that are genetically transmitted.

In the conventional AD&D system, PCs are allowed to choose from six races: human, elf, half-elf, gnome, dwarf, and halfling. Our extra-creative DMs have allowed us (the PCs) a diversity of additional races, including hengeyokai, changeling, wemmick, vampire, and several even stranger ones. We even played an adventure ( very briefly) where we were allowed to create our own races

The data on race were derived from answers to the question on race that was asked of all people. The concept of race as used by the Census Bureau reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups. More...

1. Classification of humans based on genetic characteristics. 2. Classification of people based on common nationality, history, or experiences. 3. A social construct that artificially divides people into distinct groups based on characteristics such as physical appearance, ancestral heritage, cultural affiliation, cultural history, ethnic classification, and the social, economic, and political needs of a society at a given period of time.

In most SCHS publications, the two categories, "White" and "Minority," are used. "Minority" is predominantly black (90%) in North Carolina. In a few counties having substantial numbers of American Indians, the categories "White," "Black," "Indian," and "Other" are used in some reports. Users should note a change in the case of a live birth or fetal death. For 1989 and prior years, race of child was based on race of mother and race of father (when known). Beginning in 1990, race of the child is taken to be that of the mother regardless of race of father. This change serves to reduce the number of reported minority births and fetal deaths and increase the number of reported white births and fetal deaths. Users should be aware of this change when assessing trends before and after 1990. In 1990, the change resulted in 3.5 percent fewer live births and 2.0 percent fewer fetal deaths being coded minority.

a culturally-learned concept which attempts to categorize people on the basis of physical characteristics, particularly skin colour, facial features and hair texture. It has no biological basis.

A classification of people on the basis of their phenotypic characteristics that are presumed to be inheritable. The notion of race as based on specific biological traits is not embraced by most scientists; however, race as a social variable is viewed as a topic meriting scientific investigation.

The concept of race as used by the Census Bureau does not denote any clear-cut scientific definition of biological stock. The data for race represent self-classification by people according to the race with which they most closely identify. Furthermore, it is recognized that the categories of the race item include both racial and national origin or socio-cultural groups. The racial categories of the 1990 census (before modification) are provided below: White Black American Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut Asian or Pacific Islander Other

For statistical purposes, race and ethnicity are defined separately, as reported on the data collection forms. The two are not considered mutually exclusive. Race includes the following categories: White; African American (listed as Black or African American); Asian (listed as Asian, Native Hawaiian, or other Pacific Islander); and Other (listed as American Indian or Alaskan Native, Mid-East or Arabian, Indian Sub-Continent or multiracial). See also Ethnicity.

The race with which the respondent and other household members most closely identify. Choices include: White, Black, American Indian, Eskimo, Or Aleut, Asian Or Pacific Islander, and Other Race. ( American Travel Survey )

a group of persons related by common descent, blood, heredity; any of the traditional divisions of humankind, characterized by supposedly distinctive physical characteristics.

a population of insects or mites which differs from other very similar arthropods in feeding habits, habitation or some other behavioral trait but not in appearance

A distinguishable group of organisms of a particular species. Criteria for distinctness can be one or a combination of geographic, ecological, physiological, morphological, genetic and karyotypic factors.

A construct to describe each of the major divisions of humankind, loosely summarizing ancestry, place of origin, skin colour and/or ethnicity.

the applicant is asked to choose one or more of the following [as a self description (neither race nor ethnicity are based necessarily on genetics, but are meant to be self descriptions based upon social and cultural affiliation)]: Black or African American American Indian or Alaska Native Asian. Please specify all that apply: Asian Indian Chinese Filipino Japanese Korean Pakistani Vietnamese Other Asian. Specify if other Asian: Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. Please specify all that apply: Guamanian or Chamorro Native Hawaiian Samoan Other Pacific Islander Note that both Race and Ethnicity are generally only reported for US citizens and Permanent Residents

Nationality is a better word, unless a scientific, literary or specific context calls for it.

The older classification of humans according to physical characteristics, such as shape of head, color of skin, hair patterns, body structure and so on. Now considered scientifically ineffective.

a distinct group of mortals living on the Earth

A subjective term used to distinguish groups of people but not necessarily to denote biological or physical differences. In the 2000 Census, respondents selected the race or races with which they most closely identified; it was the first census that allowed respondents to select more than one racial category. As defined by the Office of Management and Budget, the racial categories in the 2000 Census were: White, Black/African-American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, and "Some other race."

Race is a division of humankind with certain distinguishing characteristics in common which indicate distinctive origins.

people who are believed to belong to the same genetic stock; "some biologists doubt that there are important genetic differences between races of human beings"

(biology) a taxonomic group that is a division of a species; usually arises as a consequence of geographical isolation within a species

a biologically distinct group, such as Negro or Caucasian

a work of art that people can look at and be affected in as many ways as they're capable of understanding

The primary taxonomic category of which the individual identifies himself or herself as a member, or of which the parent identifies the child as a member. See American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African-American, Pacific Islander, White, and Unable to Determine. Also, see Hispanic.

category used to describe groups to which individuals belong, identify with, or belong in the eyes of the community. The categories do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. A person may be counted in only one group.

Your character's species. In D&D, for example, you might be a human, elf, dwarf, halfling, etc.

Group of people who are relatively homogenous with respect to biological inheritance. The Office of Management and Budget's Directive 15 states that the race categories represent a social-political construct designed for collecting data on the race and ethnicity of broad population groups in this country, and are not anthropologically or scientifically based.

A geographical population of humankind that possesses inherited distinctive physical characteristics that distinguish it from other populations.

A social (and not scientific) classification of people. The categories sometimes reflect continent e.g., Asian, or nationality e.g., Chinese. The terms and categories have shifted over time in the United States to reflect contemporary social and political realities. For example, Italians were once considered as nonWhite; the 1890 census listed separately Negroes, mulattoes, quadroons, and octoroons; and at the time of the 1900 Census Japanese and Chinese were the only sizeable group of Asians living in the United States. Currently, the major categories (based on self-identification) are White; Black; American Indian, Eskimo or Aleut; Asian or Pacific Islander; and other. Hispanic is not a racial category.

Features (e.g., skin, hair, and eye color) that are genetic (inherited) and shared by a large group of people. Social scientists now doubt whether race is a useful concept.

Many anthropologists consider that among homo sapiens, there are three races: Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid, and their various subdivisions. Others claim that there is only one race, the human race. Generally, this term is used to refer to the different varieties of human beings distinguished by physical traits and/or geographic points of origin.

This term is an extremely vague, misleading, and intractable folk concept about how people are to be categorized. It most accurately refers to a category of people perceived by society as being biologically different from others.
