Quote by: Dirty Name YES, I do. But the flaw with your argument is that nobody is guaranteed "equal impact." Only equal treatment.
Consider the farm subsidy analogy again. Even if "crop-prefence" discrimination was made illegal, are they discriminated against on the basis of crop-preference? Of course not. They are discriminated against based on crop output. But since "crop output" is not an illegal reason to discriminate against, they have no claim.
Clearly those who love and produce soybeans are impacted positively by the subsidy, while those who love and produce corn are impacted negatively. But our laws do not guarantee equal impact (or better stated, equal outcomes). They only guarantee equal application and access to everyone. | Can you tell me why we should deny equal impact, or equal outcomes, in this situation?
