Abstract
Race as a meaningful criterion within the biological sciences, has long been recognized to be a fiction. When we speak of 'the white race' or 'the black race,' 'the Jewish race' or 'the Aryan race,' we speak in biological misnomers and, more generally, in metaphors. Nevertheless, our conversations are replete with usages of race which have their source in the dubious pseudo-science of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.... Race, in these usages, pretends to be an objective classification, when in fact, it is a dangerous trope.
