What means "race" in the Code of Conduct?
There is no race between humans.
Human is a race.

race:

  • each of the major divisions of humankind, having distinct physical characteristics.
    "people of all races, colors, and creeds"
  • a group of people sharing the same culture, history, language, etc.; an ethnic group.

Human is a species

Yeah. In my opinion, there is no need for "race".
The Code of Conduct says: ethnicity, ..., religion.
And it is a matter of common knowledge that different ethnics differs in color, religion/creeds, language, history. "Race" is old-fashioned, archaic.
If we want to respect and to be understandable by anyone we should avoid ambiguity and doubled words (in its entitative/nature).
The word "race" has no additional avail.
