Legally, no. From a practical standpoint, people do whatever they think they can get away with.

We have to resort to legal solutions because the sad truth is that you can't at all trust entire demographics to alter or even reflect on their ethical stance.

I mean, there are enough people on this very board whose response to Black diversity initiatives in particular, is that they're too low IQ on average and therefore will be disruptive to team productivity and cohesion, despite people like Naseem Taleb going after IQ measurements.

Can you find any examples of HN comments that have suggested Black people are too low IQ on average and will be disruptive? I really doubt such a thing exists.

Reasonably, no. It's not a reasonable conclusion to make. Most people are minorities.

In America? Are we cutting up the European-American demographic by gender and sexuality, cause that'd be the most immediate way for me to grasp this idea?

Gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, “race” (however you define it), “caste” (however you define it), disabilities (however you define them, tbh, though it generally makes more sense than “race” or “caste”)… Either I just have a really skewed social circle, or most people are minorities in at least one category.
