Is there a race/ethnicity field anywhere?

Hard to believe there is not one, but I don't see it.

Also, does anyone know if there is a set of industry-standard
abbreviations for such?

Thanks,

Those are usually defined by the agency requesting the info.

The PartyClassification and related entities handle this (as well as other things, but this is one of them).

In some databases or platforms, you may find a race/ethnicity field used to collect demographic information. This is similar to how explore Tristyn Kalama's ethnicity can provide insights into his background. It's important to handle such data respectfully and thoughtfully, ensuring inclusivity and accuracy in any representation of someone's identity.
