I'm writing a fantasy story that takes place mostly on another world. There they use the term race to refer to elves, humans, trolls, etc. The kingdom is isolated, and where the humans there were originally refugees, they are all Caucasian looking. Recently, some of the non-humans met a human of Asian descent and were trying to understand why she looked different. Someone who was familiar with our idea of races (i.e., Caucasian, Asian, African, etc.) was trying to explain it to them. I had originally used sub-race since most of the synonyms given in thesaurus don't seem to fit. But then I wondered if that made it seem like I was implying that different races might be sub-human (which was not my intent) Does it sound that way or is there a better term to use?
