Thus simply, by virtue of the scale of assessment, and the need and drive to progressive advancement and status, there exists classicism, discrimination, elitism, prejudice, sexism, distinctions and animosities between rich and poor, and exploitation even in a homogeneous racial culture. Race becomes another means and measure on the scale of Consequence. Breeding becomes a means of producing offspring, that most closely corresponds to elite standards such as racial purity, beauty, height, intelligence, gracefulness and the absence of genetic, biological and physical flaws, within genetic stock pools, like dog or horse breeding. Since many progressive materialist objectives, correlate to attributes like purity, gold, white, diamonds, chastity, freedom or cleanliness, racial purity becomes just another facet. For those who use family history or nationality, as a means of assessing consequence and worth, race is an essential aspect by the transmission of the genetic identity. Those who identify themselves and their worth by race, will naturally have tendencies to racism, by the propensity to define by classified stock.

In objective based cultures, with hierarchical scales of Consequence that is the essence of Progressive Materialism, there is the need to get ahead, move up on the scale, or preserve one's present position, all of which may entail the use of other people's labor.

Racism becomes a convenient means of exploitation, where one may legally and morally exploit those of lower status, since they do not quite correspond to higher status, that would preclude such treatment. These people by their racial distinction are easily identified.
