Allowing to sue someone for discrimination for a service you are not owed in the first place is another brain dead idea of leftists. Capitalism is color blind.

Allowing to sue someone for discrimination for a service you are not owed in the first place is another brain dead idea of leftists. Capitalism is color blind. Someone else will offer the service if one discriminates.
- analog31 10y agoAs I understand it, one theory of market capitalism is that value equals perceived value. If this is the case, then capitalism is only color blind if perception is color blind.
- wfo 10y agoThat is literally the opposite of what has happened historically and is exactly why we have e.g. civil rights laws. In a fantasy land where every tiny decision any business makes which is non profit maximizing results in the destruction of that business, sure. We won't have weekends, benefits, a cordial employer/employee relationship, a living wage for anyone, or discrimination. What a wonderful capitalist paradise. I hope you don't live in a part of the world where racism is culturally common and businesses that serve all races are discriminated AGAINST by the majority culture, because those businesses would cease to exist as well. Fortunately for all of us, the market is just not that efficient. Nobody is ever punished by the market for discrimination, only by laws.
