Foreigners, and even natives, who are unfamiliar with the concept of how specifically nuanced a language is to a culture often make the mistake of equating the word lahì with the English concept of race, which currently refers to a classification that boxes people into being one of Caucasian, Black, etc. That is why you will often hear pretentious know-it-alls dismissively state “But Filipino isn’t a race.” when they hear a literal translation.
The word lahì refers to a group of people of the same lineage or heritage. It is similar to the Latin American term la raza, which is also very often simplistically and therefore erroneously equated with the English concept of race.
