Out of curiosity, I looked up “race” by anthropological terms in the dictionary and discovered that “race” is…
- No longer in technical use.
- Described as an arbitrary classification.
- A socially constructed category.
“Ethnicities” might have been a more suitable word choice for your intended query.

Oh I didn’t meant to imply it has left our lexicon. I was just curious about it since so many people had things to say, and looked it up. You bring up a really fascinating point about “interracial”, though. If there’s a more appropriate alternative to that word, I’d like to know it.
