For the life of me, I can't get my head around why anyone would try to defend any type of discrimination. How does any type of prejudice, discrimination or unequal treatment make us better people?
I agree with this.
I don't really understand the logic behind the protected classes. If discrimination is bad, why is it only bad enough when it's against a certain class of people?
Don't you think some fat or ugly people have been passed over for promotions for someone more healthy looking and more attractive? Is that not discrimination also, provided that they are otherwise equally qualified for the position?
