I don't think you understand how "protected classes" work in employment law.
- tombert 2y agoProbably not, but I looked at this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_group). I guess what I was trying to say is that I'm not in a demographic that's historically been a victim of prejudice; I'm a 33 year old straight tall white dude born in the US that comes from a relatively affluent family without any kids who has never been a veteran. Obviously if someone explicitly didn't hire me because I'm white, that would be an obvious violation, but I don't really think that's ever happened to me. I think when I've been declined for jobs, it's for more direct reasons like "he's kind of an asshole" or "he doesn't seem smart enough".
