Same here. This should be illegal: not really different from racism in my opinion.

  Presumably this isn't about things people are stuck with (skin color, etc.) but things they choose (laws, etc.) and while discriminating on the former should be illegal, discriminating on the latter generally shouldn't be. Although when scaled up to such a large group, I can understand the perception of being almost entirely stuck in a situation (because it's not an individual choice for practical purposes) even when it's not a protected class.

    > Presumably this isn't about things people are stuck with (skin color, etc.) but things they choose (laws, etc.) That is weird. I was never asked to choose my laws. Maybe sometimes I can have an imperceptible influence by being able to vote on a person who might have some say in the laws. What I'm saying is by far and large laws are things people are stuck with just as much as their skin color.

    I never chose the law, I never ever voted for the ones who chose laws of where I live in, which is where I'm born. I'm being discriminated based on where I'm born (and can't move from for many reasons): So it's the same.

      If we were to draw a line in the sand between "impossible to choose" and "possible to choose" I think generally moving is possible. There could be a million reasons why you'd prefer not to (huge risks, desires to put your efforts elsewhere, etc.) but that doesn't make it impossible, and generally the concept of protected classes (i.e., things we don't discriminate by) applies to things that are impossible to change. Maybe you even need to break a law to move, but that's more readily possible than changing your skin color, gender, etc.

I mean it's not that strange. I block China, India, Russia, The Philippines and I stopped getting drive-by hacking attempts entirely.
