Should We Be Allowed To Discriminate?

Many decry the fact companies pay too much attention to "the bottom line" yet it is the bottom line that does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. The only thing the bottom line cares about is that your money is as green as the next person's. It doesn't care about the color of your skin or with whom you sleep; it just cares about whether or not you can produce the cash. The government can't ever hope to even things out the way the free market can.

The same concept can be applied to the workforce. If a company refuses to hire someone because they are female, or their skin is a particular color, or they are overweight, etc., the company takes the chance that they turned away the best worker they ever had, on the basis that they don't like the way he looks, or the way she was born. The moral of the story is that those who discriminate in the free market will find that it costs them in the long run. Albert Einstein was run out of Germany because he was a Jew. Hitler desperately wanted an atom bomb. Who was instrumental in developing the atom bomb? Albert Einstein.
