Sure, but concurrent != parallel. You can't have data races with a single thread of execution - a while loop writing i=0 or i=1 on each iteration is not a data race.

Two async functions doing so is not a data race either.

You should really look up the definition of race condition; it has nothing to do with parallel processing. Parallel processing just makes it harder to deal with.

Data race != Race condition

Data races are a specific race condition - they may be safe or cause tearing.

Serially, completely synchronously overwriting values is none of these categories though.

		You're mixing up quite a few somewhat related but different concepts: data races, race conditions, concurrency and parallelism. Concurrency is needed for race conditions, parallelism is needed for data races. Many single threaded runtimes including JS have concurrency, and hence the potential for race conditions, but don't have parallelism and hence no data races.
