It is remarkably easy to find various language Wikipedia articles that actively promote scientific racism. The forthcoming WMF universal code of conduct is unlikely to directly address this type of damaging anti-educational content, or require projects to take action.
This may surprise some, but here are two examples, and if you follow the multiple language links in each, you will find many other language examples:
[1] Wikipedia article in Russian about "Negroid race" (Негроидная раса) and associates Negroid as being defined by genetics. Nowhere in the article is it explained that these are debunked racist theories.
[2] Wikipedia article in Italian about "Mongoloid" (Mongoloide), defines being Mongoloid by physical characteristics and presents it as a scientific term with a section explaining how the Mogoloid race is geographically spread.
Unfortunately, as these outdated racist theories are Wikipedia articles, Wikimedia Commons still hosts multiple *user created* "racial maps" of the human race as if this were a current scientific race taxonomy for humans. These maps are not even required to have warnings that their content is scientific racism or why that's a bad thing.[3]
At the current time, nobody is solving this problem with systemic racism and I am unaware of the WMF funding a project that will take action to fix it, nor even tracking this repugnant material. The idea that we might still be vaguely talking about how bad it is that Wikipedia is being used to promote "Negroid race" as science in several years time, without any systematic action to get rid of it or at least correctly reformat the article to describe it as debunked, should alarm everyone concerned that donor's money is supporting this content.
