Document Summary
I find it insulting to all black people - rocky jones. John rafferty was hired but wasn"t blind, he was the first sighted ceo for the cnib: advocacy thought it to be a huge step backwards. In romania, there is a basic understanding of discrimination against gypsies in bars, and there was a sign up in a bar that explicitly stated they don"t serve them. It was declared as unlawful discrimination merely because the patrons were roma. Kant: people should be treated as ends-in-themselves, respected as autonomous agents, richard yetter: if you treat me differently solely in virtue of my race or gender or age, then you are denying my agency as an individual person. It is insulting to my dignity as an individual. John rawls and robert nozick on desert: we all have natural endowments, which give us different advantages and disadvantages. I could never be an nba star: unjust discrimination selects on the basis of natural disadvantages.
