It absolutely does make sense because it is discriminatory. He's absolutely correct.
The mistake that you are making, is thinking that all forms of discrimination are bad. They're not. Most are in fact good. We just don't tend to call them discrimination.
He said it was racist, so I'm gonna stick with he's not correct.
I am aware of the formal and common uses of the word.
You're right that it's incorrect about the racism. I was referring to the discrimination aspect.
If you're aware, then why do you imply that it wasn't discrimination? Or did I misunderstand that?
The customer called it racist. The person you were responding to said that discrimination would be a better descriptor, but also that the customer was still silly for thinking they had a case because of it, regardless of what words the customer used.
It takes a certain kind of person to get upset that a store isn't treating you like an employee. What's next, demanding access to the private areas? Wait, people already do that too :(
The person I responded to said discriminatory didn't even make sense. I pointed out why it does make sense, because it is discriminatory and that's perfectly fine.
Yes, that's true and not in contrast with what I've said.
Some people just like to argue.
