What an intelligent argument! What has her personal life, personal choice got to do with justifying discrimination at professional work place? Why do you care who she decides to marry or what her mother says? Really, please explain me the logic. You are being extremely insensitive to the victims of racial discrimination and acting like an apologist for racists. You could just condemn wrong practice in plain simple words and move on, but no it needs to be justified because it is happening in big great America.

As with Muslims not integrating, so just because some Muslim women decide to wear Hijab, they are not integrating into the society forget about the fact they are doctors and professionals and making tangible positive contributions to the society? Whatever happening the idea of respecting personal choices? Would Muslims become better citizens if they start wearing mini skirts?

So I guess you probably not a tolerant person so I am assuming according to your logic it makes it okay for you and your children to be racially attacked and discriminated at daily basis. That’s fine but I guess for normal folks who are tolerant and professional, they deserve to be treated with some respect no matter where they are and who they are.

Just as an adulterer cannot lecture about fidelity people who ore intolerant towards other cannot demand acceptance, it is racism when someone sees you beneath them and it is a personal choice when you see others beneath you, I have seen hundreds of people say hateful things about other races, faiths, casts, ethnicities but then demand unconditional acceptance.
We were really enjoying our inclusions and acceptance and because of controversies where this lady sued because she wants to take oath in veil, terrorist attacks n mass groping incidences my whole family faces discrimination like we never did, people like her make things harder. To start this controversy this close to terror attacks is ill timed. People with piercing, tattoo dirty nails, ungroomed, unhygienic fat etc. all get discriminated.
