Can rationalism be used to justify discrimination against certain groups?

Doc Ondrus

No, rationalism cannot be used to justify discrimination against certain groups.

Rationalism means using reason and logic to come to a conclusion or decision. Discrimination, on the other hand, means treating someone unfairly or differently because of their race, gender, religion, or other characteristics.

Using rationalism to justify discrimination would mean using reason and logic to come up with reasons why it's okay to treat certain groups of people unfairly. This is wrong, because it's never okay to treat people unfairly or differently because of who they are.

Everyone should be treated equally and with respect, no matter what their race, religion, gender, or other characteristics are. It's important to always use reason and logic to make fair and just decisions, and to never use them to justify discrimination.
