Fran\u00e7ois Soudan\u2019s article on racism on 2 November argues that the United Nations system is built to preserve the \u201csubspecies\u201d of white males. Racism does exist within the United Nations system. It\u2019s hard to deny this given the allegations detailed in Foreign Policy in October. However, it is important to put this in the context of the progress that has been made within the UN system on issues of equality, race, and gender."}
