What science in particular is not getting done now, due to the replacement of the term race in scientific papers? Be specific. You seem deeply passionate about this issue, so I'm sure you have plenty of examples.
It’s a nonsense standard to demand “examples” of science not being done, which would be impossible to know precisely, and OP didn’t even claim specifically. The point is that our prominent scientific institutions are occupying themselves with nonsense woke red herrings. That constitutes a corruption of their telos (rigorous pursuit of the rational truth) in principle and the consequences are predictable, “examples” are beside the point.
Any sort of science which may suggest differences among ethnic groups, regardless of how useful it may be to study those differences.
Which difference are you alleging that isn't being talked about?
Is this change in scientific language really a matter of political correctness? It seems more like an attempt to increase precision.
It has nothing to do with political correctness or wokitude, science bra. There's simply no genetic basis for "race." All humans today have 99.9% identical DNA, with an extraordinary lack of genetic variation compared to that in other species. There is no person on the planet that is a further relation to you than about 37th cousin. Ever seen race used for differentiation in other animal? Race is a recent invention, essentially nothing more than folklore, to be generous, and not a product of scientific research or discovery. The concept of race has it origins in the context of African slavery. So from it's inception, the concept of race was always racist invention.
How is this making science worse? It is replacing an objectively broad and misleading word with more precise language.
What information does "race" tell us that "ethnicity" and "ancestry" does not? Does saying something is of Ghanian or Inuit origin less informative than saying they're black or native-American?
Maybe that leveling is itself justice.
did you read the article?
while countries like China overtake us.
It makes one wonder who is really behind this movement. That said, it seems to come from only one direction of the political spectrum, so it's not like there isn't any opposition.
