Such relativization is in fact an inversion of what 19th century colonial thinkers did when they “stageified” different types (human races) into dominator hierarchies (white above black, etc.). Just as the Europeans invented false and arbitrary stage theories to justify their colonial political stances, so do people today invent false and arbitrary type theories to defend their political stances (ignoring the relevant research results of stage theories)—to defend ideals of equality.
Postmodernists awake!
