In sociology classes when I was young, the races were separated into Negroid, Mongoloid and Caucasoid. Still works for me and makes everything far less confusing.

Exactly! Same three terms I learned in Sociology and Anthropology courses in college. In the past, I’ve crossed out the census question about “Race” and written ‘Caucasian’, with additional comments that their possible answers involved ‘colors’, not races.

It’s a gross oversimplification; the Australian Aborigines aren’t included in those three categories, for example.
