Title: PC-33 -Section 4.4.6-race

From WordNet, second usage:

 

race -- (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")

 

One can say it is an attribution of belief, and add that it is based on observable characteristics whose sources in genetic

properties is unproven.  There are physical characteristics that are observable and can be used to apply the codelist

value, but the user is warned that further interpretations of such codelists should be determined strictly or clearly documented

as vague.   The dominant applications are statistical, not genetic and individual.
