Thank you :)
I was actually going to write to you about this SI. I think you might find a few other articles interesting, as they address the use of racial categories in Germany:

Why do drug labels keep reducing pharmacogenomic findings to just three groups: “White, Black, Asian”?

I explore why this is still happening. I also argue this practice has no epistemic value — and may mislead, posing real risks, e.g. for patients.

Oops!… I did it again 😉

My new article: "Oops!… you are doing it again: pharmacogenomics and the biologisation of ethnoracial categories on drug labels" is out! #philsci

I'm really appreciating the applied turn in philosophy of race over the past few years, toward examining concrete *institutional* effects of particular conceptions of race.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback on my talk! I hope we’ll have the chance to continue the discussion in person soon (and that I’ll finally manage to publish an article on this topic one day 😅)!

When the far right weaponises the suffering of Ukrainian refugees, it exposes what populism really is: not about ‘security’ or ‘values’, but about racism, fear-mongering, and dismantling solidarity.

How the right wing in US, Europe is weaponizing murders of Ukrainian refugees

Iryna Zarutska and her family fled Ukraine in 2022 to escape the threat of Russia’s full-scale war against her homeland, seeking safety and the promise of a new life in the United States. But that hop...

‘Pursuing peace’… I have no civil words to describe this performance – an alliance steeped in cynicism, hypocrisy, corruption, cruelty, and duplicity.
They truly have no shame.

I just came across a 2001 text advocating a new classification of human biological races. Given Russia’s ongoing crimes against Ukrainians and various indigenous ppls (eg Crimean Tatars), it is telling that the author is from Moscow. Racist ideas continue to flourish there today.

I’ve been swamped with work lately and missed the fact that Steven Pinker has once again appeared on a podcast openly promoting racist and eugenicist ideas. Absolutely vile — though sadly no surprise.
Sharing in case others missed it too.

Life expectancy at birth reportedly declined by approximately 35 yrs in 2024. This represents a greater collapse in longevity than that recorded during the genocide in Rwanda, where life expectancy at birth declined from age 42·9 yrs in 1993 to age 12·2 yrs in 1994.
