      I agree, but that construct has a specific meaning, we don’t consider a random person from nearby village to be a different race.

        “We” isn’t as universal as you are suggesting here.

          Race is a specific and slightly technical word, the way “clutch” refers to an automobile part, and does not apply to wheels or odometer or pedal.

          If you want to use it in a really sloppy way, that’s kind of useless in a serious discussion about prejudice.
