Semantics in the philosophy of race
Open accessAbstract
The three questions: The problem of racial thinkingThe three questions that framed the discussions of the Effects of Race Project in 2017 were, "What do you not like about race and racial thinking?"Why?"And "How would you fix it?"What we dislike most about race is its enduring and tenacious nature.This is despite the fact that it has been discredited by many scholars and constituencies and shown to be not useful.Race is an historical contingency, not a state of nature.Anthropologists see the commonality of humankind and a legacy of widely shared cultural and physical traits that outweigh any differences that may exist.The tenacity of race has made it possible for racism, its handmaiden, to grow and endure.Race has so co-opted our consciousness and language that it has made any attempt to deal with the effects of racism very difficult.The addictiveness of racial thinking thwarts all attempts to unite humanity into a common cause.Philosophers are divided in their attitudes, with some preferring to split and others preferring to unite, but logically both attitudes can be defended.

Race terms evoke pejorative uses and negative associations even when these effects are unintended, making it difficult for clinicians, scientists, and members of the public to create data and understand results in a value-neutral context.
“Race terms evoke pejorative uses and negative associations even when these effects are unintended, making it difficult for clinicians, scientists, and members of the public to create data and understand results in a value‐neutral context (Chaplin & Jablonski, 2020).”
From Skin color and race (2021) · cites this paper as Chaplin & Jablonski, 2020
In “Race labels and hate speech” (page unavailable), the paper says race labels retain derogatory meanings and that reusing them reinforces earlier connotations, greatly complicating race studies and discussion. It does not specifically address clinicians or say these associations make it difficult to create data or interpret results in a value-neutral context. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSuch work relies on the creation of new vocabularies of human difference because the lexicon of human diversity is replete with descriptors that evoke pejorative associations while being bereft of useful and semantically neutral words.
“Such work demands enormous commitments of money and time, and relies on the creation of new vocabularies of human difference because the lexicon of human diversity is replete with descriptors that evoke pejorative associations while being bereft of useful and semantically neutral words (Chaplin & Jablonski, 2020).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
