As defined by US law, equal opportunity protections are only for the following classes: age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, race/color, and religion.
- fallingknife 5y agoAnd on race "equal opportunity" means we can discriminate at will as long as it is against Asians or white people.
- umanwizard 5y agoNo it doesn’t. Discriminating against any racial group — not just disadvantaged groups — in hiring is illegal
- fallingknife 5y agoThen how do companies have DEI policies for hiring and promotion?

- fennecfoxen 5y agoI suppose if you find an employer discriminating against you based on this religion — rather than based on your state of residence or the like — then you are welcome to file an EEOC complaint.
