raceshumans
Raceshumans is a term that appears primarily within speculative fiction and sociological critique to discuss how human populations are categorized into races while recognizing they all belong to the same species, Homo sapiens.

The compound form can be used as a rhetorical device to highlight the arbitrariness of racial classifications or to describe a world where such divisions are normalized or institutionalized.
