- burkaman 9y agoWhy?
- mikestew 9y agoI’ll take a whack at it: because in an ideal world, Ye Olde Racist Whitey’s Café would go out of business because decent white people won’t eat there, either. But we tried that experiment, and the world apparently doesn’t work that way. Which is why I support anti-discrimination laws despite being philosophically opposed to them.
- burkaman 9y agoIt's not that the world doesn't work that way, it's that there are enough racists to keep each other in business. Market forces can't solve this problem even in theory, because if there weren't enough racists to support each other, there wouldn't be a problem in the first place. We only have these laws because it's a systemic, societal problem.

- cgag 9y agoI don't think that's under dispute.
