How do you see yourself as a human being?
Answer: I see myself as a human who is capable of doing things both in right and wrong ways. I am the one who believes in accepting my flaws and working on them, accepting my mistakes and not repeating the same. I am like any other human being who works to achieve my goals and looks forward to all my dreams.

I understand what you are saying. "Human being" and "human race" carry the same meaning. That's why I did not say "human being" is wrong. But using the word race links the message back to the issue of racism. I think that's why they purposely chose their wording as such.
