In this episode, the philosophical justification for the permissibility of race-blind affirmative action is discussed. Specifically, it is held that race-blind affirmative action in selective college admissions is not a racist institution. This argument is supported by the virtue ethics theory of racism put forth in J.L.A. Garcia’s “The Heart of Racism.” An AI Thought Experiment is presented on behalf of the argument. Two critical objections are discussed —one of an epidemiological nature, and the other concerned with the application of Garcia’s morally insufficient care route condition. Garcia’s framework is ultimately held supportive, and the thesis valid.
