mircea_popescu: which is why all this nonsense is so funny, all the racism involved in the arguments against discrimination.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, it will be argued that it is in fact discriminatory on the racist presumption that it disproportionately affects black customers, as if they absolutely have to have black figurines on their wedding cake.
