Reading a Book: Racism

Share the post :

Western bias in addressing moral issues is a prominent phenomenon, reflected in the double standards applied to different peoples and cultures.

 The thinker Noam Chomsky, in most of his works, pointed out to this bias, where he criticized Western policies for being inconsistent with the principles they claim to uphold. Morin also highlighted on it in some of his writings, where he explained that the West suffers from a crisis in understanding and dealing with global complexities, which leads it to apply double standards in its policies. In this context, François de Fontaine's book "Racism" is considered an objective analysis of the phenomenon of racism.

However, the reader notices that the writer has fallen into the trap of the double standards criticized by both Chomsky and Moran. Despite his attempt to present a neutral perspective, his analysis was influenced by the cultural and political biases prevalent in the West.
