Who profits?
i was sitting in class, and two questions were posed that really got my attention.
1. What purpose does racism (ageism, sexism, and any other -ism you can think of) serve?
2. Who profits from racism (ageism, etc, etc)?
i am not simply talking about dollar signs here. there are many ways one can profit from such things. i have to run to class rather soon, but assuming this thread doesnt get deleted for improper topic or some such, i will give my thoughts on it in a bit.
now, i know this is not directly an issue dealing with philosophy, but there isnt any social science thread, and given the amalgam of possible response origins, i figured philosophy was the best place to put this thread.
now, with that out of the way, i'm interested in your thoughts......
