The bass insert on my brakes is worn. I'm been calling it a race but the internet claims boss?

IDK but .... for me a race is part of a (moving) bearing (needle, roller, etc) and a boss is a fixed piece, so I'm with the internet on this one.

Generally that piece would be refered to as a bush ( no jokes please).

Ok so a race could sit in a crank pulley?

Bush for sho! When installing new they usually need reaming with a reamer for a perfect fit/size.

The whole part I would call a cantilever brake arm.

This is a race:
