If you had been been born white, and raised in the Jim Crow South, would you likely have been racist, and if so would you have been culpable for your racism? (Assume you have your current personality dispositions, but not necessarily your current beliefs and values.)
The point about culpability is as follows. If you think you're not racist now (as far as that is possible), but you would have been racist back then, given that the entire difference is the culture into which you were born, and that's beyond your control, how are you culpable?
This paper, as far as I recall, argues that we would be culpable. Not sure I fully agree though.https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10677-015-9567-7 …
Peter Unger in Living High, and Letting Die, suggests we'd be more guilty than we'd be tempted to suppose. Not sure I fully agree with that either!
It probably depends on what we're doing wrong. Perhaps there's a difference, in terms of culpability, between doing X that nobody thinks is harmful, and doing X that a least some people think is wrong.
Well, I think I am a bit racist now. Sure it's not my fault that my country is racist and that's where it comes from. But i sure am responsible for changing my attitudes&responses, and in that sense am culpable.
