Background: The shortage of nurses in Finland has prompted the recruitment of Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) from developing countries mostly with fragile health systems. However, linguistic racism has emerged as a growing threat to the safety and well-being of IENs in the country.
Aim: To discuss the consequences of linguistic racism directed towards IENs and to propose solutions to address this issue.
Method: This discussion employed self-reflection as a means of engaging in critically reflective analysis.
Discussion: The discussion highlighted the factors contributing to linguistic racism, including poor language proficiency, misrepresentation of the nursing profession due to skin color, and political tensions. The phenomenon of linguistic racism affects IENs' communication with patients and colleagues and has a detrimental impact on the mental health and overall health of IENs.
Conclusion: To address the issue of linguistic racism, this discussion proposed a comprehensive strategy that includes anti-racism training for healthcare personnel, the establishment of a conducive workplace culture that fosters diversity and inclusivity, and the provision of adequate assistance and support for IENs.

White ≠ European (American): Commentary on the American Psychological Association's updated Inclusive Language Guide.
Am Psychol

Department of Inclusive Education, University of Potsdam.
The American Psychological Association (APA) released the second edition of the Inclusive Language Guide in late 2023. One aspect of this guide that was not updated from the previous version was the recommendation for authors to use either "White" or "European (nationality)" when "writing about people of European ancestry." In this commentary, we argue that "white" and "European" or "European American," for instance, are not terms that can or should be used interchangeably.
