It's an interesting read and an interesting perspective but he's arguing from a very absolutist position. "but I have previously argued that it is wrong to fire homophobes and racists..." But if you've got homophobes and racists in positions of power where they can freely abuse gays and foreigners, do you not fire them? Do you allow a place in society where they can freely express hate? What do you do?
I've wondered a lot about this and I don't know the answer. I'm not even sure this guy is suggesting an answer, but he is saying think carefully. Well I've thought about it and I think I reject it, but that doesn't mean I'm right. It's a tough one.
- jjgreen 3y agoI'm minded to agree with him, I don't think you should sack homophobes, but you should sack homophobia. If they keep their personal views to themselves, leave them be.
- globalnode 3y agothats where you would have corporate or institutional policies that would need to be enforced.
