ABSTRACT
Racism is a dehumanizing process through which others are made other and turned into commodities, in order to be used and abused at
will. To counter this, the dehumanized demand to be recognized as human and valued for the kind of human they are. They want to be respected for who they are, and so they emphasize what they are. The “progressives” support this stand by the marginalized because it is a stand against the powers of oppression.
