Definition

1. Noun (Danh từ):
   • Yellow race: An outdated and now obsolete term historically used in some anthropological classifications to refer to people of East Asian, Southeast Asian, and some Central Asian descent, characterized by lighter yellow-toned skin. This term is considered archaic and scientifically invalid.

Usage Examples

• Noun:
  • Thuật ngữ "hoàng chủng" ngày nay không còn được sử dụng trong nhân chủng học hiện đại. (The term "yellow race" is no longer used in modern anthropology.)
  • Trong một số văn bản cũ, bạn có thể bắt gặp cách phân loại "hoàng chủng", "bạch chủng", và "hắc chủng". (In some old texts, you might encounter the classifications "yellow race", "white race", and "black race".)

Advanced Usage

• This term is primarily found in historical or outdated texts. Its use in contemporary language is strongly discouraged as it is based on discredited racial theories.

Variants and Related Words

• Chủng tộc (n): Race. A more general, though still problematic, term for categorizing humans.
• Người da vàng: A descriptive phrase meaning "yellow-skinned people," which is also considered imprecise and potentially offensive. The preferred modern terms are specific nationalities (e.g., Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese) or regional descriptors (e.g., East Asian).

Synonyms

• Giống người da vàng (obsolete): Yellow-skinned race.
• Á Đông (archaic/literary): The East, sometimes used historically in a similar context.

Important Note on Usage

• The concept of dividing humanity into distinct "races" like "hoàng chủng" is scientifically and socially outdated. Modern understanding emphasizes that genetic variation within so-called racial groups is greater than the variation between them. It is crucial to use specific, respectful, and accurate terminology when referring to people's ethnic or national backgrounds. The term "hoàng chủng" should be understood only in its historical context.
