Rasa europoidă

De la Wikipedia, enciclopedia liberă

Rasa europoidă (sau albă)[1] este o clasificare rasială astăzi perimată a oamenilor în baza unei teorii a raselor biologice, astăzi infirmată.[2][3][4] Rasa europoidă era în trecut considerată un taxon biologic care, în funcție de care din vechile clasificări pe rase se folosește, curpindea de regulă populațiile vechi și moderne din toate părțile Europei, Asiei de Vest, Asiei Centrale, Asiei de Sud, Africii de Nord, și Cornului Africii.[5][6]

Introdusă în deceniul anilor 1780 de membri ai Școlii de istorie de la Göttingen⁠(d),[a] termenul desemna una dintre cele trei presupuse rase majore ale omenirii (europoidă, Mongoloidă, și negroidă).[11] În antropologia biologică, rasa europoidă a fost folosită ca termen-umbrelă pentru grupurile fenotipic similare din aceste regiuni diferite, cu concentrare pe anatomia scheletului, în special morfologia craniană, fără a ține cont de culoarea pielii.[12] Ca urmare, populațiile „europoide” antică și modernă nu erau exclusiv „albe”, ci aveau piele de diverse culori, de la alb la brun închis.[13]

De prin a doua jumătate a secolului al XX-lea, antropologii fiziciști au trecut de la o înțelegere tipologică a diversității biologice umane spre o perspectivă genomică bazată pe populații, și au început să înțeleagă rasele mai mult drept clasificări sociale ale oamenilor pe baza fenotipului și originii, conceptul având o dimensiune și în domeniul științelor sociale.[14]

În Statele Unite, se folosește încă termenul Caucasian ca sinonim pentru albi⁠(d) sau europeni, persoane cu origini și strămoși din Orientul Mijlociu, sau nord-africane,[15][16][17] utilizare care și ea este supusă criticilor.[18][19][20]

Though discredited as an anthropological term and not recommended in most editorial guidelines, it is still heard and used, for example, as a category on forms asking for ethnic identification. It is also still used for police blotters (the abbreviated Cauc may be heard among police) and appears elsewhere as a euphemism. Its synonym, Caucasoid, also once used in anthropology but now dated and considered pejorative, is disappearing.

Yet there is one striking exception in our modern racial vocabulary: the term 'Caucasian'. Despite being a remnant of a discredited theory of racial classification, the term has persisted into the twenty-first century, within as well as outside of the educational community. It is high time we got rid of the word Caucasian. Some might protest that it is 'only a label'. But language is one of the most systematic, subtle, and significant vehicles for transmitting racial ideology. Terms that describe imagined groups, such as Caucasian, encapsulate those beliefs. Every time we use them and uncritically expose students to them, we are reinforcing rather than dismantling the old racialized worldview. Using the word Caucasian invokes scientific racism, the false idea that races are naturally occurring, biologically ranked subdivisions of the human species and that Caucasians are the superior race. Beyond this, the label Caucasian can even convey messages about which groups have culture and are entitled to recognition as Americans. 
  20. ^ Dewanjuly, Shaila (). „Has 'Caucasian' Lost Its Meaning?”. The New York Times. Accesat în . AS a racial classification, the term Caucasian has many flaws, dating as it does from a time when the study of race was based on skull measurements and travel diaries ... Its equivalents from that era are obsolete – nobody refers to Asians as 'Mongolian' or blacks as 'Negroid'. ... There is no legal reason to use it. It rarely appears in federal statutes, and the Census Bureau has never put a checkbox by the word Caucasian. (White is an option.) ... The Supreme Court, which can be more colloquial, has used the term in only 64 cases, including a pair from the 1920s that reveal its limitations ... In 1889, the editors of the original Oxford English Dictionary noted that the term Caucasian had been 'practically discarded'. But they spoke too soon. Blumenbach's authority had given the word a pseudoscientific sheen that preserved its appeal. Even now, the word gives discussions of race a weird technocratic gravitas, as when the police insist that you step out of your 'vehicle' instead of your car ... Susan Glisson, who as the executive director of the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation in Oxford, Miss., regularly witnesses Southerners sorting through their racial vocabulary, said she rarely hears 'Caucasian'. 'Most of the folks who work in this field know that it's a completely ridiculous term to assign to whites,' she said. 'I think it's a term of last resort for people who are really uncomfortable talking about race. They use the term that's going to make them be as distant from it as possible.'
