In "The Human Division" by John Scalzi, a character named Sorvalh addresses the issue of racism within his society. He acknowledges the existence of individuals who believe in their own superiority over others, viewing them as misguided and foolish. This reflects a broader commentary on the irrational nature of racist beliefs, highlighting that such views are not widely accepted within his culture. Sorvalh's perspective underscores the idea that a better understanding of intelligence and worth should prevail over prejudiced notions. By labeling those with racist beliefs as "idiots," he implies a consensus among his people that such ideologies are easily discredited and not representative of the broader societal values they uphold.
