Clarify Race for Policy Use

Treating ‘race’ as a single, fixed variable masks different purposes (biological, legal, social, and administrative). Public institutions should adopt explicit, purpose‑driven definitions and reporting standards so that data, anti‑discrimination law, and public programs operate on transparent footing. — If governments and universities adopt purpose‑specific race definitions, debates about inequality, affirmative action, and policing will shift from rhetorical dispute to technical negotiation over measurement and rules.
