In arguing for the addition of an enforceable section on free speech to the (American Psychological Association, 2017; hereinafter, referred to as the Ethics Code), O'Donohue and Fisher (2022) rely on insufficient evidence of a threat to free speech. They also privilege individualistic over communitarian values and calibrate the risks of racist speech narrowly, and at the individual level. A recent resolution by the American Psychological Association (2021) calls upon all psychologists to "eliminate processes and procedures that perpetuate racial injustice" (para. 29, p. 3). In response to that call, I examine evidence pertinent to the proposal and conclude that the recommended addition to the Ethics Code is not empirically supported and could serve to institutionalize racism.

在呼吁为《（美国心理协会，2017 年；以下简称道德准则）》增加一个可执行的言论自由部分时，奥多诺霍和费舍尔（2022 年）依赖的是对言论自由受到威胁的证据不足。他们还优先考虑个人主义而非社群主义价值观，并狭隘地调整种族主义言论的风险，而且是在个人层面上。美国心理协会最近的一项决议（2021 年）呼吁所有心理学家“消除使种族不公正永久化的过程和程序”（第 29 段，第 3 页）。为了响应这一号召，我审查了与该提议相关的证据，并得出结论，建议在道德准则中增加的内容没有得到经验证据的支持，反而可能导致种族主义制度化。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
