The one thing that stands out for me as an outsider is the fact that "race" is even registered on every person. I live in one of the most registered countries in the world - a lot of scientist use our demografic data since everything we do and are, are registered from when we are born until we die.
The one thing that is NOT registered is race!
There are legitimate, non-racist reasons to do it. For instance, there are medical baselines for what is "normal" that differ based on race and diseases that are a higher risk for some races than others. So, epidemiologists need that information. In fact, it's one of the reasons that black people in U.S. seemed to be more careful and concerned about COVID than white people. The statistics showed a much higher death rate in the black community at lest in New Orleans. The reasons for that are likely tied to higher rates of high blood pressure and diabetes in the black community, as well as black people generally getting much worse health care but I think it's valuable to know those things in order to fix the issues and make the effected population more cautious of the dangers.
The origin of registering that information on birth certificates probably had more to do with segregation and slavery than anything else. But, there are legitimate reasons to keep that information in the U.S. today.
