If you're talking about a race as in a competition:
* Competition
* Contest
* Tournament
If you're talking about race as in a category of people based on shared physical traits:
* This is a more complex concept. There isn't a direct antonym, but you could use words like:
* Individuality
* Diversity
* Equality
* Humanity (to emphasize shared traits)
It's important to note that:
* The word "race" is often used in a way that is problematic and reinforces harmful stereotypes.
* Instead of focusing on antonyms, consider using more specific and nuanced language to describe your ideas.
For example, instead of saying "He was a different race," you could say:
* "He was from a different cultural background."
* "He had a different ethnicity."
* "He had different physical characteristics."
This approach is more accurate and avoids reinforcing the concept of race as a fixed and distinct category.
