[CODATA-international] Together against Racism

[Geoffrey Boulton]

Dear Suchith

I note that th University of Glasgow site against racism implicitly perpetuates, in its use of the word “race”, the idea that that are separate races of the human species. It should be changed.

Best wishes

Geoffrey

Dear colleagues
"Together against Racism" information at https://www.gla.ac.uk/explore/togetheragainstracism/

"We stand united against racism"  - A landmark commitment from Scotland’s universities and colleges to support a declaration against racism. Details at https://www.advance-he.ac.uk/we-stand-united-against-racism#declaration

Every day, each and every one of us can stand up against racial prejudice and disrespectful attitudes.  Let’s build a world beyond racism and discrimination, where we all exercise our human rights. Be a human rights champion!

Best wishes

Suchith
