yes I believe you should be able to fire them just like you could fire me because you don't liek the fact I am white.
I have had this argument on this board before and don't want to get off topic (although it seems in many ways we already have) but that is my view.

Great, I'm glad you admit that you think civil rights are a bad idea. Boy I wish you were running the country. That way we could fire anyone who didn't believe in the same things we did, or had different coloured skin. In fact, while we're taking away their right to equal treatment, why don't we take away the vote, and not let them own property. In fact, why don't we round up the blacks, jews, asians, moslems, and gay people and put them in nice little camps where they can all live together and we won't have to hire any of them.
Wow, regardless of whether or not you would actually fire someone simply because they are black, jewish, white, gay, or whatever (this is the preface where I say I'm not even implying you are racist), believeing that people should have the right to do so is just as bad. You are condoning racism without actually doing it, and ironically that is the essence of this guy's paper, not that the people in the tower were doing the things that p*ssed off the terrorists, but that they were passively allowing it to happen. Tolerating racism or anythin akin to it is the first step in becomming it. The people of Germany may not all have hated Jews, but look what they allowed to happen.
