Discriminatory remarks directed towards vulnerable populations can never be justified or rationalized. Such discrimination is wrong and harmful, and perpetuates inequality and exclusionary practices.

Discriminatory remarks directed towards vulnerable populations can be justified or rationalized in a variety of ways. For example, some people may argue that racial and ethnic minorities are less intelligent or competent than members of the majority group. This argument is often made under the guise of objectivity and with references to pseudoscientific theories about biological differences between races. Similarly, discrimination against women can be rationalized by claiming that they are biologically inferior to men or not capable of taking on certain roles. People with disabilities may be discriminated against due to ableist attitudes which presume they are less capable or intelligent than their non-disabled peers. Finally, discriminatory remarks towards LGBTQ+ individuals can be validated by using religious texts which condemn same-sex activities or relationships. 

In all these cases, the justification for discrimination largely relies on pervasive oppressive attitudes and stereotypes which dehumanize certain populations based on their identity characteristics such as race, gender, sexual orientation etc…  It is important to recognize how systems of oppression works and challenge them in order to create a more inclusive society where everyone regardless of identity can live and thrive equally.
