I'm of the opinion that anyone should be able to discriminate against anyone they like. If I'm turned down for a job because I'm a man, I don't think I want to work for a company like that anyway. Anti-discrimination laws have good intentions, but they just don't work out in real life. Firstly, because why would some non-white person want to work for a white supremacist in the first place, but also because it's very hard to prove discrimination in the hiring process anyway.
Interesting position.

I think we can all agree on the obvious physical/biological differences between men & women. However, I think everyone should have the same opportunities, despite being different. I'd be surprised if anyone would think that equal opportunity should be discriminated against.

I sorta half & half agree with your position; I think we should respect a business to choose who they want to hire on whatever basis. But I can't let go, not that quite easily, on the notion that we're somehow letting discrimination get a pass in this regard. Here I'm referring to the question of equal opportunity.

Ultimately, it would be much better to get, to use your example, a white supremacist to simply change his views and be more egalitarian via education or cultural information or whatever. But, facing reality, it would be much better not to work for an asshole in the first place, and allow for assholes being assholes.
