what it means to have values is that you don't accept that the negation of those values is as valuable as they are

i don't like the taste of liver. but i accept that other people do like liver, and that their enjoyment is just as worthy of respect as my distaste for it. so it's not a value, just a preference

i don't like racism, either. i am aware that other people do like it, but i believe that their feelings on this matter are worthy of disrespect. that is precisely because my rejection of racism is a question of values
