I find your defense of legalized discrimination shocking. I would not care if it occurred in only one case in a million. Its wrong. It violates both the letter and the spirit of the constitution. Given your recourse to mathematical formulas in defense of something that is MALO INSEA you seem to feel that my personal and anecdotal experiences constitute a justification for repealing laws which protect people from abuse. But I must conclude that whatever your skill level in mathematics might be your command of history is gravely deficient. I would suggest you take a serious look at the history of what has been done to minority groups in this country's history by the majority. Who of course claimed the right to serve whom they wish, house whom they wish, and employ whom they wish. And while we are at it let vote those whom they wish. And if you believe that this sort of thing does not go on today I can only express the hope that the weather on your planet is more congenial that that which I have been enduring lately.

The mathematical exercise illustrates how irrational it is to base laws on pure fantasy. Believing that discrimination is rampant in U.S. business is a fantasy. By your own testimony, you have witnessed only several examples of discrimination. This is significant, considering that you are probably hyper-vigilant in trying to spot discrimination. Despite that, you can only think of a couple examples. Whether those examples did in fact happen is another issue.
