Phenotypic variation is however very much a concept in the natural sciences, and if life scientists do not use the term "white people" in discussing phenotypic variation, there is a reason that an encyclopedia ought to take seriously.  If scientiss writing about phenotypic variation do not use the term white people, not only would it violate NOR to claim that they are actually talking about white people, it would misrepresent their research which is the opposite of what an encyclopedia should do and violates NPOV.  Moreover, white people is very much a concept analyzed by social scientists and we should back up our claims about them with proper sources.  The point, about NOR and NPOV, remains the same: we do not use our own views. People active on this page have been discussing this for weeks and have reached a consensus on this.  Now you turn up, which is your right - but you oughtn't to disregard two weeks of discussion and insist that we repeat the whole debate now.    |  Talk
