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.
