I read the article and some of the responses. The first thing I disagree with is that “bourgeois” culture is racist. People maybe racist and some people within that culture may be racist but all races can have bourgeois values. The question becomes are these values superior to other cultural values. It’s a valid question and one that won’t be answered by silencing Drs. Wax and Alexander. Discussing the pros and cons of the bourgeois culture and how it compares to others cultures should be the reaction to the article. Wanting the authors fired for their opinions and writings is just plain scary.
