While America has always stood for being a country with diverse ethnic cultures that make us great, the fear is that those who have the least may suffer the most in this economic downturn as unemployment rises and jobs, even those that were previously unwanted, now become a precious commodity.
The federal agency responsible for investigating employment discrimination charges reported this week that the number of complaints coming from workers and job seekers has hit an all-time high. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is a proposed bill in the United States Congress that would prohibit discrimination against employees on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity by civilian, nonreligious employers with at least 15 employees.
Section 1981 of the U.S. Code provides additional federal remedies to deter harassment and intentional discrimination in the workplace.

I think that discrimination against people in general is wrong. I don't care what ethnicity or gender or orientation someone is. However laws already on the books to supposedly prevent discrimination have had opposite and even disasterous results. It has created special groups with special privilages. The people in these groups can commit infractions with impunity that would cause ordinary people to get fired. They can file false claims of discrimination and the burden of proof falls on the accused not the accuser. What we have created IS discrimination.
