SCENE 8. “GENOCIDE”
The following is a Comment by this writer on an Op-Ed re Darfur by Nicholas Kristof published in the New York Times of April 17, 2007.
Please do what you can to delete the term ‘genocide’ from the language. It perpetuates what it seeks to quell: racism. For it asserts that people can be defined by their genes — into races — and ‘race’ has long been discredited as a wholly non-scientific, political term. Recent advances in genetics and DNA to not negate that negagtion, but merely complexify matters a bit.
