Definitely a gigantic failure. Why not offer protection for everyone and treat them the same? Praise your literacy all you want, doesn't matter if the performance and strategies of political representatives are abysmal. And the concept of treating people equally seems to be beyond comprehension.

> Why not offer protection for everyone

That is how protected classes are defined. Everyone is in multiple protected classes.

Huh? How so? I'm pretty sure I'm not in any.

All sexes are protected classes. All races are protected classes. All national origins are protected classes. etc.

Except when you're in the majority, being white and male and a US citizen (in the US) isn't something you ever get discriminated against for. So this "protection" you talk about is pretty useless; if someone wants to discriminate against someone like me, they find some other convenient factor that isn't protected.

They're also likely to do that if you're in the minority.

The problem is the effectiveness of the rules, not that they don't cover everyone.
