Tulsa city council adds sexual orientation as a protected class

[rwarn17588]

It always seems to end up with a preference for the protected group over the original, admittedly often  advantaged by default/tradition, in order to get even.

Yes, let's continue a group's unfair advantage ad finitum.

How about shoe size?  Can I be fired if my feet are too big?  Do we need to establish some protection for that?

You could be fired if it is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ).

Oh, Please no.

I already shop for the Herman Munster Collection. I won't even rent bowling shoes without duct tape to hide the shame of the large number on the back.

They were drunk when they hired me.  I always look better after a few.

Did they let you drink on the job too?

So then you support discrimination in order to support a group at the expense of another group.  You're just swapping groups.

What do you think affirmative action and minority contract quotas are?

What do you think affirmative action and minority contract quotas are?

Making up for the disadvantage the formerly discriminated against minorities have against them?

Duh!

Sorry Nathan, wrong is still wrong.  I'm 100% for equal chance but to discriminate is still discrimination and against equal opportunity.

Today, I agree with you. In the past, when blatant discrimination was rampant, it was a necessary evil. Thankfully, we white men don't get preferential treatment by default anymore, so it's not needed.
