There are around 7,000 languages spoken in the world, but that number is shrinking. Unesco estimates that half could disappear by the end of the century. So how are languages lost, and what does that mean for the people who speak them?

So how exactly is literacy racist? I wonder what convoluted logic leads to that conclusion.
Also how is health and life expectancy a racist measure? Isn’t living a long life in good health just about the most objectively good thing a society can achieve?
No those are stats EVERYBODY should value. Or maybe you won’t send your children to school because it has no actual value, and maybe you won’t allow your children healthy food and healthcare, because that’s just a racist idea?
I can see your answer is indeed that all cultures are equally developed, which is very obviously false. It’s like saying 1+1=1, and I can not have any respect for such a view.
It’s defeatist and it doesn’t help anything in any way.
How do we improve society, if all societies are equal? It’s nonsense!!!
By evaluating individual stats, not entire societies, and by letting societies determine what they value.
You don’t need to share other people’s values. But you have no right to determine what other people should value. Big colonizer energy from you.
That’s an oxymoron, societies are collectives of individuals. If you can evaluate4 on an individual, you can collect it to evaluate a society.
You are talking like culture is some sort of religion, where it’s all made up, and completely disconnected from evidence and reason.
So you maintain that good health and long life are just a subjective values?
