Predictable ad hominem attacks from a "tolerant" radical leftist. > Platt has confused multiculturalism with cultural relativism and/or moral > relativism. The MOQ is opposed to relativism but not multiculturalism nor > a pluralistic society. It says that values are changeable and they matter > and that we can make judgments about them. The quote Platt cited is a > condemnation of racial intolerance or bigotry, which Platt has used to > endorse intolerance and bigotry. He's used an anti-racist quote to try to > score points for bigotry. He's taken the opposition to relativism as an > endorsement of some kind of cultural supremacy. A generous person would > laugh at the irony but I'm just saddened by the stupidity and the > hatefulness. Platt's comments express a sentiment that no decent person > should endorse and they are very far from being worthy of a philosopher. > In fact, bigotry is one of the most common cultural values that we ought > to judge as immoral. It gave cover to all sorts of the worst moral > nightmares, including slavery and genocide. If that's not evil, then > nothing is. > _________________________________________________________________ > It´s the same Hotmail®.
