Who Can Claim Indirect Discrimination?
This paper asks why discrimination is wrong, when it is wrong. In particular, it asks whether all members of protected groups – including whites, men – should benefit from the protection of the law. I argue that while direct discrimination is symmetrical (it should protect dominant as well as dominated groups), indirect discrimination should be seen as structurally asymmetrical.
