When I think of what I owe other people, I think in terms of how I want to be treated – I’m thinking of civility, a lack of preconceptions, tolerance for differences, to name a few. I also think in terms of responsible actions (for instance, if I were drunk, I would owe it to everyone not to drive.)
Does what you owe to another person change with the person’s race? Do you have different kinds of responsibilities in your relations to different races? Or is this inherently inequitable? Is it naïve to think that there should be one standard of fair treatment for all?
