You and yours have refused to separate that and equate the issue with hateful treatment of types of people...You have not shown the ability to view his belief statement as a valid principle to operate under, with the best interests of his clients and himself in mind. IMO
I have said over and over that I believe that Mojo believes what he believes and that he's utterly sincere about it. I do not think it is an altogether unreasonable thing to believe. What you don't see is that there is a difference between personally practicing one's beliefs and making them part of a business plan. One is private and one isn't. When you get outside the private realm, there are societal and legal criteria you have to meet and you can't override mainstream beliefs with your own.
The allegations of discrimination are not based on the usual reasons we find fault with people who are selective about gender, or type.
You made the point earlier and I meant to comment on it about the significance of the motivation for discrimination, whether or not it is hatred or superiority or whether it is something well meaning. That matters when looking at one's soul and in private interchange. But in application in the public world, it matters not a whit. Malicious discrimination and de facto discrimination are both discrimination. Doesn't matter the motive. If the statistics say you only hire ten percent of the women who apply and sixty percent of the men, regardless of your reason, you're discriminating illegally and you are assumed to be a bigot whether you hate in your soul or not. That's just the way it works. It works that way because, in part, it's too hard to assess motivation and in part because it doesn't really matter what the motivation, the harm is still there. He wouldn't win. Maybe he should win, but he wouldn't win, because the law and public opinion don't care about his soul. That is a practical consideration that Mojo and you are ignoring.
The consensus seems to be that as long as Mojo keeps his head down, he shouldn't be regulated or officially. But the minute he pops his head up, someone is going to sue him and he will lose. |
