Black and Asian are races. Discrimination based on race violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and is illegal. Muslims are members of a religion. Discrimination based on religion is illegal, same as above. In 2020 the Supreme Court ruled that the CRA64 also covered sexual orientation and gender identity, making discrimination based on being homosexual and transgender illegal. "Opinion, political belief, or political affiliation" is not a protected class, so it is legal to discriminate against people for those reasons. And, in my opinion, it is actually GOOD to discriminate against people for those reasons. It is an expression of ones First Amendment Freedom of Association.

>Black and Asian are races. Discrimination based on race violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and is illegal. Yes and it wasn't illegal for a long time so what's your point here? >In 2020 the Supreme Court ruled that the CRA64 also covered sexual orientation and gender identity, making discrimination based on being homosexual and transgender illegal. Thanks for agreeing that you can add protections to different classes. > And, in my opinion, it is actually GOOD to discriminate against people for those reasons. No it's not "good" to discriminate in the way you're referring to it by shutting down what they say. It's good to present your differing opinion and put it out there so people can decide whether they agree. A lot people really thought discriminating based on skin color was "good" too.

  You asked.me.if I thought we should be able to discriminate against certain groups. I said no, because it's illegal, and I don't want to get rid of that law. If someone engages in speech I disagree with, I don't want the government to punish them for it. That does not mean I think bad speech should have no repercussions- I just think those repercussions should be in the private realm, in the hands of private citizens and private organizations. In case it isn't clear, I'd sooner do away with all protected classes than add "Nazi" to the list.
