Let me know if you feel otherwise, but it could be reasonable for paypal to want to distance itself from "african american phone sex."

Random discrimination agains minorities is never a wise move for a public company. It would not be wise ling term but they could be some short term gain if they pander to some extremist gaining ground in government.
I don't think they realize just how noxious this is to small companies. Pay pal is convenient but they are Earning a recommendation for unreliability large this kind od thing is enough to put a start up in serious danger. I hope star ups are not forced to play it squeaky clean and forced to discriminate in order to avoid loss of liquidity.
It sounds like it takes no more than a bad word or rumor of some outspoken group to get cut off. By bad word I mean gay black muslim independent.
I feel sorry for our non white non catholic friends. There seems to be a growing movement in the US to fragment our nation and KUt the others off from income and protection of law.

Any reason you say Catholic specifically? I understand why you would expect eastern religious to experience discrimination, but in my experience Christians as a whole are basically safe and Jews don't really have any problems either. If anything the Catholics are discriminated against more than other Christians although I certainly wouldn't say that either group see much trouble.
