1. Race (as in a competition): This is spelled "course".
2. Race (as in a human race/ethnicity): This is a bit more complex. While "race" is sometimes used in French, it's considered outdated and potentially problematic. It's best to use more specific and nuanced terms:
* "Origine" (origin) - This refers to a person's geographical or cultural background.
* "Ethnie" (ethnicity) - This refers to a group of people who share a common culture, language, and often origin.
* "Groupe ethnique" (ethnic group) - This is a more formal way to refer to an ethnic group.
* "Peuple" (people) - This can sometimes be used to refer to a specific group, but it's generally best to be more specific.
It's important to be aware of the sensitive nature of discussing race and ethnicity in any language. Always strive for clarity, sensitivity, and respect.
