Easy.
Racism towards white, conservative, Christians is acceptable cuz they have it coming to them. Racism against anyone else is not OK.

FMF: When is and isn't "intentional race-based discrimination" morally sound?I thought you were a supporter of "intentional race-based discrimination" in the private sector, in matters of recruitment, staffing, transactions, business choices, customers and clients etc. But here you are saying "never"?

Originally posted by @fmfI may disagree with a person, but that does not mean a person should not be free to do so.
Is it, in your view, "morally sound" to do so?
A person spends his or her own money creating the company. It should be his or her right to hire people for any reason. It is called freedom. No where in the Constitution does it give the right for the government to micromanage private businesses.
Constitutionality doesn't really matter when you have 5 politically appointed people say otherwise.

The answer to that question goes a long way in deciding if you believe in a free society or a Manor.

Originally posted by @eladarNo, you are mistaken. The question is exactly as I have stated it. Here it is: Is it, in your view, morally sound to engage in intentional race-based discrimination? That is the question that I am putting to you, not some other question that you have come up with.
