Important Note

The term "hồng chủng" is an archaic and rare translation of the outdated concept "red race." It is crucial to understand that such classifications are scientifically invalid and socially harmful. When referring to the diverse cultures and peoples, always use contemporary, specific, and respectful terminology such as Indigenous peoples, naming the specific nation or community (e.g., Navajo, Cherokee, Inuit), or using phrases like Indigenous peoples of the Americas.
