The problem with that is how easy it is to construct an argument that something like race is an impediment to work because of the biases of coworkers or customers.

Are blue eyed people being discriminated against? If the answer is no then your hypothetical is irrelevant and you are optimizing for the wrong case.

These are protected classes to correct a real failing of our social system.

I'm sure some albinos could claim discrimination in customer-facing jobs due to skin tone and eye color. It just might not be obvious (e.g. the employer simply never called them back after the interview, rather than hiring them and explicitly firing them later for "scaring our customers").
