And if abortion or homosexuality are declared illegal, I suppose you will help enforce those laws, too.

If I am truly capable and a bigoted private entity does not want to work with me (for whatever reason, "sound" or "shallow"), it's their loss. In any case, a money-hungry competitor who has no principles (ie, does not care about my non-work characteristics and cares only about profit) will snap me up because it can "exploit" me. It's the bigot's prerogative, and it will be the bigot's loss.
But if the government discriminates against me, then it's misusing taxpayer money, because it should go for the most efficient, most economical option.

I'm so sure you would agree to a private company stereotyping you, and using your race, religion, and ethnicity as the reason

Exactly! Just take your business/money elsewhere. Their loss, your gain!
Never said "all", but whenever there is a robbery or shooting of a cab driver and a pic of the suspect is released, I have yet to see any race other than black or hispanic. Not trying to make this a race issue either as I'm hispanic myself. Just speaking the truth here.
I guess you probably will stay out of movie theaters too? Of course, I'm applying your logic.

I guess I should never leave my house. Applying your logic!
Attending a movie theater and actually working a job where you have to be careful of who you pick up are 2 totally different scenarios. Terrible analogy!

Not really the point of thread is stereotyping. So yes indeed he using right analogy, because if their was a uptick in movie crimes you would start stereotyping the cause of it

No. Driving a cab and being required to pick up anyone and everyone, and attending a movie theater on your down time is not a correct analogy. If there's a rash of shootings and robberies in movie theaters, then I just wont go. Its that simple. I as a citizen am not required to attend a movie theater whereas a NYC taxi driver is required to pick up every street hail by law regardless whether he views them as a threat or not. In this case, if you fit the profile of someone who's going around shooting and robbing cab drivers and I feel my life might be in danger if I pick you up, then I will just act as if I didnt see you and drive right past you. I have the right to make a judgement call that will safeguard my life regardless of what the law dictates.
