Well, "I don't know if I believe anyone is 100% a dick-". Bob may be an asshole precisely because he's being discriminated against and that makes him angry. Our society seems to think that even the worst people, even murderers and thieves and rapists, can be rehabilitated and included.
But I see your point.
And I'm not arguing that no one should ever be allowed to discriminate for any reason. I'm simply flipping the script: instead of the default position being that discrimination is acceptable, discrimination should require justification.
Someone might be willing to publicly say "we don't hire assholes" and defend it. Go for it. It would be much harder to say "we don't hire short people" or "we don't hire dalits" and defend that.
