As a libertarian, I agree that discrimination is a human right.
Employers ALREADY discriminate CONSTANTLY anyway with absolute impunity: Have tattoos? Get out. Don't have eight years of experience? Get out. Got arrested once a long time ago? Get out. Straight White male? Get out.
To any of you misguided liberal cretins who disagree with me, consider this: YOU exercise discriminatory practices when you decide who to have sex with, who to hire as a babysitter, who to allow into your house, et cetera. Now you may say "But True, it's really not quite the same" - and perhaps that's correct. Regardless, the point stands. Until you're willing to determine who's left alone with your children by throwing a dart at a random list of names, don't you DARE tell me who I have to associate with.
I don't know; it's not like the maggots are going to tell me. But affirmative action exists; it's alive and well, and that's an irrefutable fact.
You yourself said that in your line of work a great deal of emphasis is placed on creating a "diverse" workplace, at the expense of efficiency. Come on now, what does that mean?
I can tell you that in Hawaii, being a white male is a serious hurdle to overcome if you want a government job, as well as many private sector jobs. It is best to be Polynesian or Japanese. I believe that discrimination is just as bad as any other.
should employers be allowed to discriminate?

In what job did you apply for that you were rejected because of being a straight white male? Or seen a straight white male rejected for?

Absolutely. I was asking seriously, I didn't mean to phrase it cynically.

I just reread my post, I see the feeling of asking cynically. I was asking seriously. I get it at my job, and I'm a white male.
