No, the noun 'race' as a word for ethnicity is not a standard collective noun.

A collective noun is a noun used to group people or things in a descriptive way.

Collective nouns are an informal part of language. Any noun that suits the context can function as a collective noun; for example, an assimilation of races (also called a melting pot) or a race of engineers(the ancient Romans for example).
