some of them. That's just not right, IMO. That's ascribing to an entire group the deficiencies of a few belonging to that group.

An occupation is not in a protected class, but it's still the essence of discrimination. It's still wrong, IMO. I don't buy the "we don't feel safe" reason.

And of course, the reaction by the Trumpers is, as usual, like the schoolyard bullies they are.
