That's the same thing as racism. Every racist ever has told himself that he's 'mitigating risk for the company' by not hiring minorities.

So are insurance companies who charge more to males "sexist" or to younger drivers "ageist"? Undoubtedly, there are some racist idiots hiding behind the policy of mitigating risk, but I can't believe some don't have reasonably logical, if tasteless, motivations.
