The classes that are protected are those that are intrinsic to each human and are unable to be changed - sex, age, race, looks, health e.t.c
Anything that can be changed (like a job) is not considered a protected class.
- standardUser 5y agoThat is absolutely false. Religion is a protected class and it is not intrinsic or unable to be changed. Did you not know this?
- daenz 5y agoMaybe to you as an outside observer. Many devote followers of religions express that it is a fundamental part of their identity. Many around the world are willing to die for it. Does this sound like something that isn't intrinsic?
- ActorNightly 5y agoReligion is a proxy for culture, which is generally a protected class for the most part since you don't chose the culture that you grow up in. Furthermore, companies are allowed to discriminate on aspects of religion/culture - not allowing time for prayers, requiring certain dress code, e.t.c.

- mlyle 5y ago> that are intrinsic to each human and are unable to be changed This isn't universally true. E.g. pregnancy is a protected class under many laws. Religion is a frequent one, too. And in e.g. California, political affiliation is one.
