In the bad-ol’ days, some racists said: Reasoning, objectivity, science, individualism, and freedom are white people values. Other races do not value them, so those races are inferior.
These days, the wokists say: Reasoning, objectivity, science, individualism, and freedom are white people values. Other races do not value them, so those races are superior.
Both wokists and racists agree that races have fundamentally different values.
My view: Values are chosen by individuals, not races, and reasoning, objectivity, science, individualism, and freedom are universal values, i.e., ones that all individuals should commit to.
Values are not a free choice. Mostly it is culture that choose values. However I also believe that individuals are responsible for their values
Question, Joel: Can one be responsible for something one has not chosen?
