Racial discrimination against a white is as unconstitutional as race discrimination against a black.
Today, blacks are no longer the litmus paper or the barometer of social change. Blacks are in every segment of society and there are laws that help to protect them from racial discrimination. The new ‘niggers’ are gays. It is in this sense that gay people are the new barometer for social change. The question of social change should be framed with the most vulnerable group in mind: gay people.
The single most instinctive evil is discrimination
It is an old trick. The playgoer who does not like dirty plays is denounced as a prude; the music-lover who resents cacophony is told he is a pedant; and in all these matters the final crushing blow administered to the man of discrimination is the ascription to him of a hidebound prejudice against things that are new because they are new.
I've witnessed racism all my life. And of course there's racism and discrimination in Hollywood. You go for a part and they say, 'Oh, we really liked her, she's amazing, but we wanted to go with something more traditional'. As if I'm not a traditional American!
Here they are today, the Democrats; they're making this big deal about how this woman [Hillary Clinton] has overcome all of this discrimination. She has overcome the biggest guns of opposition that have been arrayed against her!
We all ought to be equal and not see discrimination based on gender, race, or sexual orientation.
Ending racial discrimination in jury selection can be accomplished only by eliminating peremptory challenges entirely.
I do note with interest that old women in my books become young women on the covers. . . this is discrimination against the chronologically gifted.
From what I understand from talking with older friends and feminists, I think that once I enter the workforce and start to think about marriage and having children, my gender will probably eclipse my feminist identity in terms of marginalization. Discrimination in terms of hiring and in the workplace are still real according to statistics. I also think, as a feminist, figuring out what a relationship based on true and complete equality is will be a challenge. But hopefully by the time I'm dealing with those issues feminists will have made great progress in all of those areas.
Today, unless women gain jobs and athletic scholarships commensurate with their percentage of the population, feminists scream discrimination.
I have an intensive hatred for discrimination based on colour.
Discrimination is simply the act of choice. Scarcity requires us to choose; scarcity is the cause of discrimination!
Business shouldn't be like sports, separating the men from the women.
I am not a racist in any form whatsoever. I don't believe in any form of discrimination or segregation.
Racism and discrimination of any kind have no place in football.
I have always firmly believed that every director should be judged solely by their work, and not by their work based on their gender. Hollywood is supposedly a community of forward thinking and progressive people yet this horrific situation for women directors persists. Gender discrimination stigmatizes our entire industry. Change is essential. Gender neutral hiring is essential.
If discrimination based on race is constitutionally permissible when those who hold the reins can come up with "compelling" reasons to justify it, then constitutional guarantees acquire an accordion-like quality.
A man with a long history of racial discrimination should never run our government.
Discrimination is not liberal. Arguing against discrimination is not intolerance.
