Citing Ayn Rand
”Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man’s genetic lineage — the notion that a man’s intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors.” -Ayn Rand
Even if I disagree in many parts with the philosophical corpus that Ayn Rand has left us, the above quote on racism encapsulates a powerful argument against the genetic preconditioning of a person’s fate.
