Quote: - how you dress(assumming its not an issue of exspensive clothing)
Why should anyone be discriminated against because of their choice of clothing? So Bob Dear likes to wear blouses -- this effects you how?
Quote:-how you talk
This needs clarification. Many people look down on southerners or cajuns because they drawl and/or slurr their words (I know, I grew up down there), but that's simply an accent learned when you're young. That has no bearing on intelligence, or anything else.
Now, outright idiots and gangsta rappas 4 lyf4 I have no problem with discrimating against -- but I just don't tolerate scum.
Quote:-what you smell like
You may have a point here, in that body odor could indicate a lack of hygeine, which may affect others. But what if I'm a fry cook? Or I work in a paper mill (paper mills stink like drek). Again, needs more clarification.
Quote:-how you cut your hair
Haha, sure. Coincidentally, I just had my head shaved down to a buzzcut-type level recently. Does that make me an idiot army grunt type?
(Note: I'm not saying army grunts are all idiots, but the "buzzcut idiot grunt" stereotype is an easy reference)
Quote:I also dont mind having a different standard for both men and women in each of these catagories.
You only need double standards if the categories are valid.
Quote:I dont see anything wrong with discriminating on a personal basis.
... Except your examples don't fit. You profess to discrimate based on aspects of appearance.
