Inconsistent. And since when is society about balancing interest? I’d like to see you go to Saudi Arabia and open a synagogue in their “society.” The true motive is restricting individual power for the benefit of the political class.
The decisions should both be the employer’s decision. If I don’t want a person with a beard, worn for religious reasons, working for me that’s no business of yours.
Are these people actually going to be able to function in the real world? They are going to be HR time-bombs in any normal workplace.
note: sorry, but is “bomb” a micro-aggression?
What does it matter? Their elders have seen to it that there are no jobs for them to do anyway.
And how did their elders do this? I’m curious.
There are unlimited jobs that need to be done. But when foreign labor, illegal labor, and robots can do it for a fraction of the cost of an untalented and unskilled domestic would be worker guess who doesn’t get the job. We’d rather have unemployment and entitlements than true full employment.
That’s nice that you’d like to see that. Me, I’d like to see the United States be more of a paragon of religious liberty than Saudi Freakin’ Arabia.
Given that the political class and the business class overlap so neatly in our society, your proposal consolidates power in the political class.
Another words, if nobody can see it, it doesn’t exist. And they’re fine with that.
Those are…indeed…another words.
I don’t get why people think these things are sprouting up out of nowhere. These issues have, for the most part, always existed. Minorities just won’t get assaulted anymore for speaking out about it.
Should you also not be allowed to hire black people?
Lots of businessmen feel they shouldn’t have to “hire n—ers” or that "Nigras will scare away white customers?
Plenty of libertarians think that that would be peachy, and that mean nasty racists would just naturally go out of business if only we stopped interfering with the Invisible Hand of the Marketplace. I think that’s nonsense, but like so many of Libertopia’s benefits, it’s difficult to refute a scenario that we know won’t ever happen anyway.
Except we do know what happens when it happened. It happened in the United States, primarily in the south, for over a century. If entire communities are ingrained with institutional racism, it doesn’t change.
Eeeah–I don’t want to go too far down this hijack/garden path, but the Libertopia claim is that discrimination was government-mandated in those cases, and that without government mandates for Jim Crow-style laws, the marketplace would magically marginalize the discriminators.
But again I don’t want to pursue that nonsense too much here, since the Libertopians have made about five bajillion threads about that claim already.
Employers in the U.S. are bound by laws forbidding discrimination on the basis of religion in employment, so it’s not always that simple. For instance, an employer who only banned crosses but allowed other religious displays might be accused of creating a hostile work environment that illegally discouraged Christians from seeking employment or promotion there.
Sure it does, because the kids learn much more from their experiences having friends of other races and going to school with them etc. than they get from other sources. The chain breaks, though it may take time. There’s been absolutely enormous change in the last 50 years. We’re not there yet, but you talk like nothing has changed or will change at all.
Right. That change would really have happened without landmark civil rights legislation. Just like how in the year 2016, the GLBT community is treated perfectly fine. Oh wait, most every advance in gay rights has been because of legislative and court victories.
If you want a live in nanny or let’s say a prostitute are you required to give equal consideration to every race, gender, religion, or age? I don’t see how the state can force you to hire personal help if for whatever reason you don’t want to.
For positions not so personal I think hiring should be done with a blind eye towards race, religion, etc. but we know that’s not done as companies have quotas and people have unprovable biases.
It sort of happened like that in sport.
New thread button, dude. New thread button.
Not that I’m surprised but you’re stuck in the wrong century.
