# if you look at any statistics that are split across 2 groups
then one will always be higher than the other, i,e accidents per miles driven

men v women
white people v non-white people
people over 5 foot 7 vs shorter
people with a middle name v people with no middle name
one religion vs all other religions

but nobody would dream of discriminating across any of these categories

# I'd like to discriminate against people who don't have a middle name
and also people who have more than one middle name.

Ronnie Corbett was in a sitcom about a world in which short people were discriminated against, but that's all I can remember about it.

edit/ as far as I can find out, the sitcom was "Small Problem" and didn't star Ronnie Corbett, it was Mike out of the Young Ones.

# Yes they would!
If statistics said people under 5' 7" claimed more money; they'd charge them extra. They do this for a living you know! Health insurance does it all the time. Family history, lifestyle, BMI, smokers...

# Presumably now they can't charge women less
for a decreased risk of contracting testicular cancer

# I'm not defending anything
I'm just pointing out the facts. And as far as I know, nobody gets charged for cancer. It's free.

# I for one stand up for those of us in society
who are 1.82m tall, have a middle name that starts with a vowel, owns a shed and doesn't particularly like Hawaiian pizzas but will eat one if put in front of me!
