Sure, but just because something is legally allowed, it doesn't mean we're not permitted to argue that it's a bad practice.

Some places don't legally allow this, so we should think about why: because it's abused, perhaps? Because it furthers discrimination?

The list of current protected classes isn't some holy thing; we can and should add to things that companies aren't permitted to discriminate based on, when those things are found to be harmful to people and society.
