Create separate categories for races and regions

Lists

Hi! I suggest creating a separate category for races (Caucasian, Black, Native American, Mixed, etc.) and a separate category for Latina, Middle Eastern, and other regional groups (like North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, etc.). Right now, everything is lumped together, including racial affiliation (like Caucasian) and ethno-geographical affiliation (like Latina). Take Latin America, for example. It's home to Caucasians, Blacks, Native Americans, and Mixeds, but they all fall under the cultural-geographical umbrella of Latinos. This creates confusion, leading to unnecessary disputes and frequent edits. Latina is changed to Caucasian, then Caucasian to Latina. And it's not as if they're entirely wrong.

Don't use an offensive term like Lat**x, people from Latin America despises this.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I didn't know it was considered an insult.

Yeah, it's fine, also about the topic, the race section in the site clearly says visually, but some people keeps forcing to go by the place they born (example on argentina girls that are obviously caucasian looking), but well nothing we can't do unless mods would lock races like they do with breasts about being fake or real.

In my opinion, the problem is that different concepts are contained within the same category. Specifically, racial identity (Caucasian) and geographic identity (Latino). It's as if we combined the shape of an object (circle, square, etc.) and the color of an object (green, red, etc.) into one category. One would say it's red, and the other that it's a square.

Read what i said, site says to put her "visual" etchnicity, not the geographic identity...

I can read. Visual ethnicity is ambiguous. For example, there's a difference between what you mean by the term "Latino" and the actual meaning of the term. The definition is: "Latino Americans are people who were born in Latin America or have roots there.
Different origins: Latinos can be of any race (white, black, Native American)."

I guess you could add religion too if we're going down this road?

If you think it is necessary, you can make such a proposal.

how about a MENASA (Middle Eastern, North African, & South Asian) category?

That's exactly what I'm talking about. There are a lot of similar regional groups. So my idea is to avoid having groups and races in the same category.

This is the problem with the nationality category. People put the racial/ethnic makeup of the person, but that's not what nationality means. It literally means where are you a citizen of. This gets confusing when a person is from a melting pot, such as the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brazil, etc. Separating race/ethnicity would go a long way in clearing this up.
