      Agreed. A lot of people in this thread are confusing what they believe should be illegal discrimination with what is actually illegal discrimination. Or they believe discrimination laws are more broadly encompassing than they are. There are a lot of kinds of discrimination that most of us agree is bad and shouldn’t be allowed… but unfortunately is not illegal.

        Exactly. And though there are protected classes at the federal level, there are also some at the state level and they vary. I’m in California, and we have more than most. If you’re a business owner or manager, you have to know what they are where you are or it can be really bad.
