Dear all,

In my reply to Karleen I wrote:


I also think it is not argued that the white kaukasian male is 'the standard' in research related to health. 


Caucasian/Kaukasian is an unnecessary word, used to identify specific racial characteristics, which do not exist anyway and come from an old tradition of feelings of superiority. 

So, I would like to correct that I think it is not argued the white male is 'the standard' in research related to health. 

I apologise for any pain my words might have brought.
