I want to know the answer to the following question:
What does using race as a category within the law legitimize?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The European Union uses the terms racial origin and ethnic origin synonymously in its documents and according to it "the use of the term 'racial origin' in this directive does not imply an acceptance of such [racial] theories".[full citation needed]". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
