Blatant discrimination against people matters.

.

If that were even remotely true, people would not be discriminated against for their religious beliefs. Or for their age, or for their gender. Educational backgrounds, job histories, language skills, job history, public appearance, physical capabilities, and on and on... People pick and choose who they will and will not discriminate against all the time. As do governments.

We are talking about businesses that serve the general public.

Ya, you need to give better examples because none of the ones you've used so far involved businesses providing service to the general public that get away with discrimination.

Private clubs don't count.

Hiring for jobs doesn't count.

Providing service in an area of professional expertise doesn't count.

Such as..............?

I already gave a list. Lots of examples have been given in this thread. Businesses in all walks of life make discriminatory decisions on a daily basis about who they will hire and who they will serve. In many cases they even get government subsidies if they can prove that they have discriminated to a sufficient level.

Hiring is a matter of expertise and non-discrimination also, and not the topic of this thread.

You can't seem to substantiate your claim with any appropriate examples of businesses serving the public being allowed to discriminate ... because none are allowed to discriminate.

Really? Restaurant hostesses aren't hired for their attractiveness?

Not much of what you're saying is specifically about the topic of this thread either. I was just responding to your narrow-minded nonsense.

Prove it.

Cite one.

You cite one. You're doing nothing but trolling, trying to get people to waste time rehashing that same things you've already been told that you had no credible answer for. It's what you do in almost every thread (see the nonsense you're spouting in the aboriginal title thread right now for another classic example). You want to keep talking in circles, you do the work.

I blew all of your examples away.

People serving the general public cannot discriminate, even in Indiana.

You didn't even come close, not even once. Repeating yourself won't make it true.

Prove it: Cite one that stands up.

You can't.

Because you're wrong.

People serving the general public cannot discriminate.

This may have been mentioned earlier, ever have a an interview when trying to find a new family doctor? I have, smokers weren't welcome, other people have too, some turned down for being too old, here in Canada. I wouldn't say it's the right thing to do, but it happens. Discriminatory?
