And they literally are fascist

If they want to control speech

You should be allowed to be actually racist even if it isn’t a good thing to be

Well that's never going to happen

In the UK at least

I dont think people should be able to be racist

what is racist?

theyre free to have racist opinions... but not actually be racist

as in not hire someone because they are white or black or whatever

It depends on what sense

People should be allowed to discriminate as much as they want

It should only be the State that is banned from discriminating based on race

nah I disagree...

Businesses should be allowed to if they want to,

but why are they not hiring somone because they are black or white or whatever?

when you get to small 5ppl companies its not AS much of a problem... but when youre talking big corps... its just bad

It wouldn't actually be a good idea economically if you ban a group of people from working or purchasing things from your business

I don't think any big businesses would

It would cost them too much

Some small businesses might

Yes, but why aren't they hiring someone because they are black or white or whatever?

They should be allowed to hire or not hire someone based on race

It's their business after all

They should be able to choose who they hire or don't hire

well someone in charge of a big corp might say "mUh RePARations" .. and decide not to hire white ppl for example

Well that's racist

That would damage the business too much

depends what area they are in

But my question was designed to give rise to the question "How do you know the decision to hire or not hire a white or black or whatever person was racist"?

Think about all the skilled workers they would lose

in portland USA it might be good for business ;P

@Eccles It shouldn't matter, I believe that a business should be able to hire or not hire someone for any reason

That's clear, lizard

Eccles, I mean like.. if the corp has a policy literally saying, no <insert race>

You're for repealing the human rights act, and I totally support that - there should be no protected characteristics in society

Pretty much

And the Race Relations Act

Why though, wacka? You're assuming their motives

what motive could there be when a corp has a policy of "no <insert race>"?

Racism. Practicality

so its pretty safe to assume the motive is racism then..
