do we need a law that prohibits discrimination based on appearance, ability, etc?

Question

because there is an anti-racial discrimination law, but why is it other types of discrimination are not seriously dealt with?

Answer 1

NO!, we need a law to stop people from demanding preferential treatment by screaming "discrimination" based on their appearance, ability etc...

Answer 2

Just so you know. Government law does not apply to personal preference in a situation like choosing a mate or friend so I wouldn't let that answer throw you off.

As for anti-discrimination laws, they are already so hard to prove that they are not particularly effective except in extreme situations. They have been more effective in workplace situations, but how can you sue someone for not hiring you. Even if you think it is because you are fat or black or handicapped or whatever. There can be a million reasons for not being hired that no one has to give. So in those cases fat or ugly people are no less protected than blacks.

Answer 3

The Framers are laughing at this question.
It is not the responsibility of the government to legislate against social Darwinism. Natural selection dictates that we discriminate based on everything, for every reason. If you do not fit into the fashion of your group, region, industry, or even Nation, you need to find another. Diversity has just about destroyed this nation.

Answer 4

So, you advocate handing the U.S. Government the right to tell you that if you are in a bar a an obese, ugly man or woman comes up to you and asks you to dance that you are required, by law, to say yes?

Or, if you have a job opening for a sales rep and you have a choice between someone with tats, long greasy hair and a nose ring who dresses in leather and a very professional looking person who has manicured hair and is polished, and both have the same degree and experience, you will be required BY LAW to select the person with the nose ring?

Sorry, I'm not ready to give the government that much power over my life.

Answer 5

Because there are characteristics called "bona fide occupational qualifications" (BFOQ) in the law that allows for people to be selected or rejected based on those factors deemed critical to acceptable performance of the job. Would you really want someone in a job that doesn't have the right abilitites??

Answer 6

Discrimination is a form of good taste.

Answer 7

because of the fact this is inner maximum property they are in a position to refuse you get right of entry to. you basically could have a civil rights case if some human beings have been allowed in wearing costumes yet individuals weren't. as an occasion, if boys dressed as vampires have been cool, yet ladies dressed as witches have been given the boot.

Answer 8

I know, you're right. That's what I was telling my mother one day. The reason why I think that it's so terrible, is that some people go to school for years and years and just because they are not considered gorgeous or handsome; they don't have the same chance as everybody else and some that don't even work as hard to get in a certain position. I personally think it's sad because, some of those people won't be able to support themselves fnacially just because they don't fit someone's standard of beauty.

Answer 9

Why yes, government needs to equalize all of us. There should be laws prohibiting decremination of the ugly, the fat, the short, the tall, the obese, the cross-eyed, the knobby-kneed. Government should ensure that no one feels ashamed.

Answer 10

Bad hair.
