How do you decide what is moral and what is not?

“Ethics have very little basis in justice, and a lot to do with ‘privilege’ – race, sex, and economic status.  It is legal, and therefore ‘ethical,’ for Trump to separate families at the Mexican border, but not for a Native American to stand up and protect their land?  Or for Brock Turner to get 6 months of jail time for rape while black people are at risk of being shot just for going outside?  The spectrum is too vast and random to argue that there is a code of ethics that is based in anything other than race, sex, and economic status.”
