Se analizaron en la Lista de encabezamientos de materia para biblioteca (LEMB) los epígrafes referidos a raza, según criterios de otredad, confinamiento, omisión, estructura inadecuada y terminología tendenciosa. Se identificaron 3 epígrafes para caucásicos, 135 para indígenas y 21 para negros. El 75% de los epígrafes para amerindios y el 100% de epígrafes para la raza negra se concentran en las palabras indígena/s, negro/s y negra/s. La omisión de epígrafes y subdivisiones, la incoherencia en las relaciones equivalentes y los términos tendenciosos pueden resultar discriminatorios u ofensivos para aquellos distintos a la raza blanca, por lo que se sugiere revisar esta conocida lista de epígrafes, incluyendo el concepto mismo de raza, con el fin de mejorarla.

Races in a subject heading list in Spanish
Abstract
The subject headings, referring to human races, were identified in the subject heading list Lista de encabezamientos de materia para bibliotecas (LEMB), following criteria of otherness, confinement, omission, inadequate structure, and biased terminology. A total of 3 subject headings were identified for white people, 135 for American Indians, and 21 for blacks. 75% of the subject headings for American Indians and 100% for blacks are concentrated in the words indígena(s), negro(s) or negra(s). Omission of subject headings and subdivisions, inconsistencies in the equivalence relations, and scope notes, as well as some biased terminological forms may be discriminatory or offensive for some people, and thus the revision of this very well known subject heading list (including the very concept of race), is suggested in order to improve it.
