The Han Chinese are the majority ethnic group in China. They are the largest single ethnic group in the world.The number of human "races" is arbitrary; therefore, there is no definitive answer to your question. The popular trend today is to look at ethnic groups, because there is only one true race, the human race.

"Race does not exist. Racism does exist."

Charles Keyes, Anthropologist, University of Washington, 1996

Scientists usually use three races: Negroid, Mongoloid, and Caucasoid. Negroids would be what is called black, and originates in the continent of Africa. Mongoloid is what would be the far east of Asia and Native Americans. Caucasian would be what is called white (European), along with Middle Easterns or Arabs, Indians, and Hispanics/Latinos. You may be thinking, how are Indians or Latinos or Arabs Caucasian? Race does not just depend on skin colour, but features, and ancestry. All Caucasian ancestors come from the Caucus mountains, all African ancestors come from Africa, and all Asian ancestors come from the far east. Caucasian would be the largest group occupying about 4/7 billion humans. The next largest would be Mongoloid occupying about 2 billion, then Negroids with about 1 billion.
