How anti-racism became irrational: A philosophical analysis

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Although anti-racism proved to be very worthwhile in the refutation of racist theories, in more recent times, many of its varieties in Academia have become themselves irrational. This article critically examines three of those irrational varieties: 1) Cultural relativism (the idea that all cultures have the same worth); 2) Black supremacy (the idea that blacks are biologically superior to whites); 3) IQ inadequacy and IAT adequacy (the idea that IQ tests are inadequate whereas IAT tests are adequate).
