Is Race a Demographic Variable?

When we try to control for zip code or socio economic status, a huge part of the effect of that variable is co explained by race. Because race is so constitutive of every facet of life in particularly in the united states, it's almost impossible to disentangle somebody's race from their zip code because of the way that our society is structured. And i think that, as a result, it might end up with us making claims about mortality that don't take into account just the complexity that of raceand how much it can affect outcomes and in different parts of the clinical process.
