Can there please be a fallacy of class justice?

Question

noblenutria@gmail.com	Can there please be a fallacy of class justice? On the internet I have encountered this argument. Group X is privileged compared to group Y Therefore members X are sexist, racist, etc and members of group Y are not, by definition. Another way to frame it...Because X are in power and Y are not, then X are racist and Y are not. Yet another way to frame this is...Racism means the institutional racism of X against Y, therefore X can be racist and Ys cannot because Ys are not in power.

Eat Meat... Or Don't.

Roughly 95% of Americans don’t appear to have an ethical problem with animals being killed for food, yet all of us would have a serious problem with humans being killed for food. What does an animal lack that a human has that justifies killing the animal for food but not the human?

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.

In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.
