  Yeah yeah not protected, but same could be said for requiring blond hair or blue eyes. Still discrimination

    They did specifically list genetics

      How is that different from any other accident of birth that can’t be changed? People really do discriminate based on when you were born:

      • Discrimination in China
      • Zodiac shaming

      Not hard to extrapolate a case from this. Imagine a landlord refusing to rent because you’re a “scorpio” or an employer turning you down because they’re looking for a “dog” person.

    Because requiring blond hair and blue eyes would, by definition, exclude people based on race.

      Not necessarily true, but 100% discrimination based on genetics, which is a protected class.
