- thrill 9y agoSo these guys are claiming their (hateful) message is about their race. Are they justified in claiming their protected class is not being recognized in this business decision by Godaddy, et alia.
- flunhat 9y agoGoogle isn't discriminating on the basis of race. It's not saying "These people cannot host their domain with our service because of their skin color". That would be illegal, but that's not what they're doing, obviously.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> Are they justified in claiming their protected class is not being recognized in this business decision by Godaddy, et alia. They are certainly free to lay out their evidence that it is race and not advocacy of violence that motivated the actions, either to make that case in the court of public opinion or one of law (race-based discrimination in public accommodation is generally illegal). From the publicly available evidence, that explanation doesn't seem the most likely one, though.
