False.

It might help to follow this dialogue:

* There are three people in a room. How many people are in the room?

* "Three." * Three what?

* "Three people." * So you can count people!

* "O.K. I'm convinced!" In the above case the word people is the plural of person.

Also, when referring to all the people of a race or ethnic group, 'people' is similarly countable.

e.g.

* Asia is the home of many different peoples. The word 'many' shows that the noun is countable.

Contrast with:

* There is much unhappiness in the world. (NOT There is many unhappiness in the world.) The use of 'much' shows that the noun unhappiness is uncountable.
