When writing in English, you must use the _English_ meanings of words.

I _am_ using the English meaning of words, Peter. It is a well-known
fact of life that the animal called man (Homo sapiens) genetically
speaking has no clear-defined subspecies, with the possible exception
of African pygmies, who are genetically more different from the
neighbouring tribesmen than those tribesmen are from you and me. So,
in the context of human beings, the only sensible and useful meaning
of the word "race" is "the group of people a particular clique of
racist bigots detests".-

Learn English.

We non-native speakers are the majority of the users of English, and
we are the ones who make the rules from now on. Learn to live with it.-

You've tried that one before. It still won't fly.

I am sorry, but I definitely disagree.
