The question in the OP was: when is and isn't "intentional race-based discrimination" morally sound? And your answer is "never". So you are saying it is never morally sound to engage in intentional race-based discrimination, right?
Originally posted by @fmf I am not really interested in your superstitions and your notion of "sin" on this topic. Feel free to expound upon them, but stuff about supernatural phenomena and beings doesn't address my question in a way that interests me. For example, whether you think you are or aren't going to "hell" is neither here nor there.
That is fine and dandy. I answered your question in my first post.
I'll see if anyone wants to deal with the problem I brought up, which is discrimination based on perceived discrimination. It is based on the belief that every racial group has the same set of skills.

You appeared to say it's never morally sound to engage in intentional race-based discrimination but then also appeared to support the right of people to do engage in it, and were careful not to mention the morality of them exercising that right. Would you yourself ever consider engaging in intentional race-based discrimination?
Originally posted by @fmf What about when the government itself is the employer?
Nope. Still not right.
By the way, whatever happened to 'equal rights'? If affirmative action was the government's way of dealing with racism, all it did was reverse the racism.

If I had a reason, like I don't trust Saudi Muslims or Iranian Muslims, then sure.

Everything connected to this web site is pure leisure activity and entered into for whatever entertainment it might provide. This topic is an interesting one, is it not?
Originally posted by @eladar Should one discriminate when it comes to hiring people you trust? I'd say yes.
If this is so where the government is the employer or a state funded education facility is recruiting, do you feel there should be some burden of evidence necessary in deciding whether to "trust" someone and would this be different from a private individual's decision about "trust" in who he does and doesn't enter into some kind of private transaction with?

In such case it would not be my company. My company would take no government funds.
