You have your ideas about how your car should work or look.<br \/>\nFortunatly we can choose among quite a few car sellers. Now let&#8217;s conclude you like a car for up to 7 people<br \/>\nnot too, tall. Fine there are e.g Sharan and Galaxy here in Germany. Well in the past this was the same car just<br \/>\nbranded differently. Now assume you find a Galaxy  for 25 000  EUR and a Sharan for 25 000. Now you choose<br \/>\nSharan. Be cautius if car buying would be like anti-discrimination laws. Ford could sue you. Simple reason you have discriminated against Ford<br \/>\nwhile you a) don&#8217;t like the color b) don&#8217;t like the sales person c) because the Ford was sliver instead of yellow <\/p>\n<p>or whatever. <\/p>\n<p>What would you tell Ford? Well if you are  moderate you&#8217;d say: &#8222;Mind your own business&#8220;. With high probability you&#8217;d say. &#8222;Go to &#8230;.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Now let&#8217;s change this so person searching for  a job. They are both the same age, the have the same grade, hell they even have the same marks.<br \/>\nBut one is as handsome a guy could be the other a girl at least that handsome. Your shop runs with 20-30 year  old Nerds, which are full of Testerone.<br \/>\nWhom would you &#8222;choose&#8220;. Well bad decision. You either discriminate the handsome guy or even worse you discriminate because of &#8222;gender&#8220;. So what would<br \/>\nyou tell the bureaucrats? <\/p>\n<p>Well you better find a sound excuse for your choice. If not you may in for around before the court. <\/p>\n<p>Well how do we make choices? Sometimes they are based on figures, sometimes they are a gut feeling. We simply do not know. But if you make an educated choice for a car.<br \/>\neveryone agrees it&#8217;s your business, if you make an educated guess with whom you like to work together, well be assured, someone may object and start crying: &#8222;Discrimination&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well let us assume you&#8217;re looking for a new car.
