It is still referred to as such because at one time, that was the term used in classifications scientifically for a species. Today, however, race in biology is an informal rank below subspecies. Outside of biology it is considered a social construct. Any modern definition of the term is a way of separating individuals within a species based upon some trait, often a physical characteristic.
Your argument that there is only one race is erroneous.
I suppose we have descended into a bit of a semantic argument. However, my point that "race" is not a western invention or construct still stands.
