I’m not sure how this is a response to the OP. It sounds basically right to me (and I imagine that Richard would agree with it as well, though he can speak for himself), but it seems like almost entirely a non sequitur to the claims made?
the author’s “solutions” of ethnic segregation and socially-enforced virtue ethics enforced by inter-group mutual distrust
This text doesn’t even mention ethnic segregation as a solution? It does promote virtue ethics as an alternative moral frame to utilitarianism, but it says nothing about “enforced[ing] by inter-group mutual distrust”.
I don’t doubt that you’re pushing back against a real cultural force, but it doesn’t look to me to actually be represented in this short-form, except (at best) as an implication.
