Abstract:
Race is a pseudo-scientific system that was invented to sort people by skin color into different categories. Race has no biologic basis, meaning the phenotype of skin color cannot accurately separate humans into distinct categories. Contemporary Western veterinary medicine was founded by white European men to treat livestock and working horses; 150+ years later, the majority of veterinary graduates are white women working on domesticated family pets. The history of veterinary medicine informs our current reality.
摘要:
种族是一种伪科学系统,其发明是将人们按肤色分类为不同类别。种族没有生物学基础,这意味着肤色的表型不能准确地将人类分为不同的类别。当代西方兽医学是由欧洲白人男性创立的,用于治疗牲畜和工作马;150多年后,大多数兽医毕业生是从事家养家庭宠物工作的白人女性。兽医学的历史告诉我们当前的现实。
