Another, rational, competitor would do well to 'snap up' such rejected people and 'wipe the floor' with the prejudiced business manager in the market place. This is what has been driving equality the world over - not legislation. It also supports the false notion that employees are interchangeable with no one being more competent than any other. Moreover, each person is free to have any opinion, however morally repugnant and irrational. The friend of any oppressed minority is a free society where each individual can seek to achieve their goals, regardless of the opinions of others, not a bully boy state robbing on their behalf.
All people have a right to their thoughts, and therefore to their opinions.
What they do not have is the right to impose their beliefs upon others. They are not, and this is why they are not. There is one reality not a slew of them to suit each person. Capitalists do not seek to ridicule or belittle another's beliefs, you may believe anything you choose to, there is no punishment for this. State socialism is about controlling people, it considers that left alone people will tend to be bad, and they 'need' to be interfered with to correct this.
