And to not choose a house that might be right for you because of the ideology of the listing agent is... well I don't want to insult the disabled but... oh nevermind.
So, freedom of association is paramount... until people start discriminating against racist realtors.
We have loved living in ridgewood but the lack of diversity and conservative vibe is starting to get to us. Maplewood seems like such a better fit. Our oldest is starting K in the fall. My biggest hesitation in moving is the schools. Will we regret moving?
Yes. Have you been to the section of Maplewood that borders Irvington? Have you researched Columbia High School?

People should discriminate against racist realtors. That's the whole point. Private citizens can decide who the bad people are and take their own free action by shunning them. The State should have nothing to do with any of it. And while racism has been correctly defined as the most primitive form of collectivism, freedom demands that individuals retain the right to be racists. If someone does not like members of a certain race and wants nothing to do with them, that should be just fine. To each his own, stupid or otherwise. Freedom is more important than idiotic perversions such as diversity and inclusion where the state says one person must, under penalty of imprisonment, deal with those he does not want to. It is insanity, and un-American.
And by the way, although the Internet has brought us previously unimaginable stupidity such as people sending out status changes every 10 minutes to their dopey Facebooks, like anyone except other retards gives a rat's anus, and robotweeting their retardation to the Universe at large every chance they get, it has also brought a very new and powerful shunning tool in the form of social media.
A business that exercises racism can quickly be lambasted in the court of public opinion, with free speech excoriating bad behavior almost instantaneously. We don't need the State to tyrannize us with Orwellian paraphernalia such as "inclusion" and "diversity" and "affirmative action". We can take care of all this privately, and freely, and voluntarily, without the creeping statism that incrementally destroys us and will ultimately cause our transmogrification to noxious Euro-hellholes like Greece or Sweden.

The OP is making a private, free, and voluntary choice to associate with the people they want. To my knowledge, the OP is not the government in disguise tyrannizing you. I'll stop engaging with you because only a troll could claim to believe that free association is the most important thing... unless a person wants diversity.

You'll stop engaging with me because your viewpoint is bankrupt, and that works amazingly well for me.
