Are you a racist or a valucist? The difference between racism and valucism

Have you ever judged people in a general way, saying to yourself: "They're all thieves and criminals anyway"? If so, you've probably wondered whether you're a racist. But what if you are, in fact, a Valucist? Let's explore this idea.

💥 In this video, I discuss the difference between racism and valucism. Because it seems that in the end,many people don't care about skin color but have more problems with groups that don't respect their values.

In short, racism arises when the color of the person itself is a problem. Valucism, on the other hand, occurs when skin color doesn't matter, whether blue, purple or other, but simply when we have problems with conflicting values.

Introduction

Have you ever judged a group thinking that they're all thieves or criminals anyway? If so, it's likely that you then asked yourself if you were a racist. Racism, as the name suggests, is negative discrimination based on a person's race, influenced by language, religion or skin color. However, racism is often associated with skin color, because as well as being the first thing we see, sight is also our most developed sense. For example, we see much better than dogs or cats. Here's how we see dogs, and here's how we see cats. Our brain, though intelligent, does not have an unlimited capacity, and its primary purpose is to ensure our survival. To do this, our grant and reptilian brains constantly classify everything around us, and since vision is our predominant sense, it's logical that our brains use images to classify first.

Viewing and classifying threats

This visual classification helps us identify dangers and threats. If it's black with more than eight legs, chances are it's dangerous. If it's long and green, potentially venomous. And finally, if it's pink and fluffy, probably harmless. Our brains constantly place different things around us to save energy, because after all, energy is expensive. Not unlike last month's electricity bill. In the same way, our brains categorize what they see in our society, always seeking to identify threats and extract the common ground to react quickly if necessary to ensure our survival.

Example: Blues and violets

Let's take an example. Blues are a hard-working people who like to build, create and progress. Their values are hard work, innovation and honesty. Purples, on the other hand, value immediate pleasure, festivity and humor. But what happens when these two cultures start to mix? The blues are a little surprised that the purples haven't built more for their own comfort. As for the purples, on discovering the world of the blues, they appreciate everything they've beaten, and of course suddenly wish for the same. Some purples then decide to settle down and take advantage of the blue system.

The blues are then a little surprised and feel that their values and their world are threatened. How does their brain react then? Well, it will simply classify the threat with the most visible and decisive element, namely color. A purple person is equal, a slacker and a profiteer. It's simplistic, but the problem isn't the color purple, it's the values. Blues value hard work and believe that what you sow, you shall reap. Purples, on the other hand, prefer to enjoy the moment, to take advantage. In general, blue people are not racist, because in the end, skin color is of little importance to them.

Racist or Valucist?

They welcomed the purples, and Centre. But they're rather valusist, because values are the heart of the matter. It would be easy to tell the blues not to judge on the color purple. But that's how our brain works. It constantly classifies threats through our most developed sense, namely sight and therefore colors. Racism in fact arises when we have a problem with the color of the person itself. Valucism, on the other hand, occurs when skin color doesn't matter whether it's blue, purple or other, but we have a problem with values that conflict with our own.

I suspect everyone is to some degree, which is ultimately quite normal as our brain's primary job is to keep us alive. Our brains will always continue to do what they do best, simplify and classify threats by color and shape. But now you know the difference between racism and valutism. So you can tell the difference the next time you call yourselves thieves and criminals.
