Justice is defined as the upholding of what is just, especially fair treatment and due reward in accordance with honor, standards, or law; the principle of moral rightness. I will use the principles of Kant, Bentham/Mill, and Plato to help show why some particular sexist and racist actions are wrong or unjust. .
Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on the sex/behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex. Similarly, Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that social differences produce and inherent superiority of a particular race/racial prejudice or discrimination. .
So let's say this young African American male has applied for job at a big city bank, and it just so happened that he was called to come in and have an interview. When he gets there he realizes that there is someone else there for the interview also and it so happens to be a white male. Both individuals go in for the interview and a week later the white male was hired. The African American later finds out that the employer has an issue with African American people. Using Immanuel Kant's Categorical Imperative this is absolutely wrong and unfair. His principle states: so act as to treat humanity, whether yourself or another, never as a means merely object. This employer is treating the black individual as an object and is not treating him with the respect that he deserves. The employer is not treating people as he would like to be treated. Even though this is a made up example scenarios like this actually happen and it is sad to know that there are people like this employer. Another example that comes to mind is when I think of female police troopers. Females used to not be allowed to become state troopers because the typical stereotype that they were too weak or were not smart enough. This is a prime example of sexism. Who is there to say women are not strong enough to be able to take a suspect to the ground? On the other side, who is there to say that male officers are always able to take a suspect to the ground? To me it seems like something that cannot be determined simply by your sex.
