question 348

Multiple Choice

Which of the following would count as an objection to Liu's argument that racial looksism is morally wrong because it denies people fair consideration for appreciation respect?

• A) Racial looksism is just as morally wrong as simple looksism because both deny people fair consideration for appreciation respect in being overgeneralizations that equate people's moral worth with their looks.
• B) Appreciation respect is not a different kind of respect from appraisal respect because it consists in a positive attitude directed toward someone for his or her moral or nonmoral qualities.
• C) Racial looksism is not morally wrong because it is an overgeneralization that disregards people's individuality and denies them the appreciation they are entitled to.
• D) People are under no obligation to fairly accord others appreciation respect since appreciation respect is a purely subjective matter that may be based on idiosyncratic criteria and thus is not morally constraining.
