○ anti-discrimination legislation
Anti-discrimination laws protect certain groups today and all of humans in the future. The importance of these laws cannot be understated. Without them, anyone, at anytime, may decide to discriminate against a group of people for any reason.
By simply having these laws, we prevent some future discrimination. Those that may wish to discriminate in ways not yet prevented by law specifically may not because of the laws already in place.
