You say this:
Men from muslim backgrounds are often faced with a double burden, being penalised by the dating market for not only their ethnicity but also their religion,
Then have an islamaphobic signature on your profile

How curious.....

@SylviaB, so is your argument essentially that hirers discriminating based on race is the same as people discriminating based on race in dating preferences?

They're both racial discrimination, and racial discrimination is wrong.
I think it's fair enough to say that employers are institutions, and so should be governed by strict laws, regulations, and standards to ensure accountability and ensure their actions benefit the greater society. However, when it comes to dating, anything goes. You're not a tax-paying business, but just someone trying to find a partner, and it would be unreasonable and overbearing to impose the standard of an institution on an individual like that.

So in other words:

When a hirer discriminates based on race, that is racism and should be penalised. When a romantic discriminates based on race, that is possibly racism, but should not be penalised. When it comes to dating, racist people should be the last to be forced to date another race, and it is for the benefit of everyone if they don't.

So people want to work for racist bosses?
