@auramun@anarchism.space Here ya go, took a little digging to find one not behind a paywall so you can view it. This is a peer reviewed paper (linked at the bottom). So you dont have to go digging here is the quote where they specifically express that "populations" are now used in place of the word "race" because race is considered a "loaded term" (basically what i said a euphemism):
Many terms requiring definition for use describe demographic population groups better than the term 'race' because they invite examination of the criteria for classification.
