    Yeah yeah not protected, but same could be said for requiring blond hair or blue eyes. Still discrimination

        How is that different from any other accident of birth that can’t be changed? People really do discriminate based on when you were born:

        Not hard to extrapolate a case from this. Imagine a landlord refusing to rent because you’re a “scorpio” or an employer turning you down because they’re looking for a “dog” person.

            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.

            Yeah more of a case for public shaming or filing a complaint or even just an honest Glass Door review

      Because requiring blond hair and blue eyes would, by definition, exclude people based on race.
