Talk:Biblical terminology for race

Orphaned references in Biblical terminology for race
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Biblical terminology for race's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto": From Egypt:  From Race (human categorization):  From Assyria: Georges Roux - Ancient Iraq From Race and ethnicity in the United States:  From Genetic history of indigenous peoples of the Americas:  From Assyrian people:  From Indian people:  From Age of Discovery: Arnold 2002, p. 7.</li> <li>From Ethiopia: </li> <li>From Miscegenation: </li> <li>From Nazism and race: Harwood L. Childs (translator). "The Nazi Primer." New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1938. Page 34.</li> <li>From Libya: </li> <li>From Celts: </li> <li>From White people: </li> </ul>

Reference named "auto1":<ul> <li>From Miscegenation: Bong, Inyoung A "White Race" without Supremacy: Russians, Racial Hybridity, and Liminality in the Chinese Literature of Manchukuo pages 137-190 from Modern Chinese Literature and Culture, Volume 26, No. 1, Spring 2014 page 147.</li> <li>From Age of Discovery: Mancall 2006, p. 17.</li> <li>From White people: </li> <li>From Charax Spasinu: Characene and Charax,Characene and Charax Encyclopaedia Iranica</li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:50, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Suggested page-name change: Bible-based interpretations of racial and national origins
I'm not comfortable with the title of this page. For this reason: only the top-tier level of info (Shem, Ham, Japheth) is about so-called "race." The rest of the info -- the majority of the page! -- is about nationality (national divisions) rather than race.

Also, though the Gottingen / Gatterer references may be the first "modern" attempt to "scientifically" equate the Biblical scheme with the names "Hamite", "Japhethite" and "Semite", there is a precedent in the (medieval?) European equation of the Three Magi with three continents, and portrayals of them as three different races. The way it's presently worded, it sounds like this three-race concept came out of the blue in the late 18th century. Traversetravis (talk) 03:40, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Title
I think the current title is potentially misleading. This article isn't about the Bible's terminology for race but about Biblical terminology that is used for race. Srnec (talk) 22:34, 1 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Do you have any thoughts? Racial terminology drawn from the Bible? Srnec (talk) 13:10, 8 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I hadn’t interpreted in that way; it has been intended to follow the structure of Color terminology for race. To my mind it is clear what is intended, but I may be too close to it. Onceinawhile (talk) 20:51, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
