Shrnutí:Starting with a retrospective comparison between a recent period (2011-2024) and a more distant one (1840s-1880s), and analyzing similarities in the discourses and considerations of various actors across these different times, the article examines how officials managed and organized multiple ethnic or racial categorizations based on the socio-economic and political context. These contextual and temporal dimensions are essential to understanding the transformation from policies predominantly based on ethnicity and diversity to a tendency toward racial uniformity. The study also examines the semantic mutations consequently imposed on ethnic and racial identifiers.
