[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1667452, member: 38590"] The government has identified protected classes, such as race, religion, and sexual orientation, as a solution to issues with discrimination that we have in this country. For example, if your employee reveals himself to be a practicing Muslim, it would be illegal for you to fire him based solely on that. However, if he insisted on trying to convert your non-Muslim clients during business hours and it were harming your business, you'd be well within your rights to fire him. You can't fire a man for being gay, but you can fire him if he's sexually harassing your other employees or clients. You can't fire a woman for being a woman, but you can fire her for refusing to follow the dress code. You're allowed to fire people for their behavior, not their identity. That's an important distinction, and there are people intentionally trying to muddy the waters here when they complain about "cancel culture". Gina Carano didn't get dropped for being conservative. If she had simply said that she votes Republican, it might have prompted some chatter from Twitter, but nothing would have come of it. She could have said that she believed in small government or reduced taxes and been fine, too. The problem comes in when hateful and discriminatory speech gets tangled into "politics". Let's look at the Charlottesville protests as one example. When a mob of young men are videoed chanting "Jews will not replace us", and their employers see them and fire them, are they being persecuted for being conservative? Of course not. They're being fired for being openly anti-semitic. When a young woman goes to a Black Lives Matter protest and is videoed shouting "pigs must die" and loses her job, is that discrimination against her for being liberal? Nope. Neither of those people committed a crime and their rights are protected by the first amendment, but that doesn't mean it's discriminatory to hold them accountable for their words. [/QUOTE]
