December 7: Trump calls for discrimination
against Muslims
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump called on Monday for
“a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our
country’s representatives can figure out what’s going on.”
September 27: Hillary Clinton said Trump
embraced a "racist lie" and it demonstrated a pattern that carried over from his
business practices.
"Donald started his career back in 1973 being sued by the Justice Department for
racial discrimination because he would not rent apartments in one of his
developments to African-Americans," she said.
March 20: Managers of Saint Marc, in Huntington Beach, later apologised and said
they had fired the staff member. US President Donald Trump was elected in
November amid tough rhetoric on immigration and has pledged to build a wall
along the Mexican border. "I think a lot of people think they have the power to
discriminate against people more openly than before," Ms Carrillo said. "I woke
up this morning to a lot of comments stating this is fake news, that this didn't
happen. Unfortunately it did happen and it happened to me and three other
people. We have to bring awareness to racism and address this."

and discrimination in Philly

April 26: A New York City judge may have
thought he was making Manhattan great again when he threw out a case against a
West Village bar that had refused service to Donald Trump supporter Greg Piatek.
The trial turned wacky at the Manhattan Supreme Court after the bar's lawyer,
Elizabeth Conway, pointed out that discrimination laws don't protect people
on the basis of political beliefs. "Supporting Trump is not a religion," she
said.
Piatek's attorney, Paul Liggieri, made the unusual
argument that, in fact, it was. "He was paying spiritual tribute to the victims
of 9/11. The Make America Great Again hat was part of his spiritual belief,"
Liggieri said. "Rather than remove his hat, instead he held true to his
spiritual belief and was forced from the bar."
Justice Cohen asked Liggieri how the bartenders could have known of Piatek's
atypical religious beliefs. "They were aware he was wearing that hat," Liggieri
said.
The judge also asked how many members were in "this spiritual program that your
client is engaged in." When Liggieri could not answer, the judge asked "so, it's
a creed of one?"

Representative is challenging British Columbia regulations that discriminate

be sold on regular grocery store shelves.
