the word "race", using that word for humans is very offensive - technically speaking, there are races of dogs and cows, but not of humans (features in humans are much continuous and spread, while in domesticated animals they tend to be more discrete and clustered)

I'm pretty sure race is a thing. Source?

Agree with all your other points.

EDIT: In fact, race is for humans only. You're probably thinking of "breed".
