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.
