@JonKramer I don't think it's acceptable, but it depends on the situation. Some sort of discrimination seems to be accepted or even encouraged by society. Kinda weird in my opinion, though sometimes it might be a necessity to counterbalance the discrimination from the other direction.
@trinsec the counterbalance point is spot on. I tried to figure out a way to word that point in a short text, and still can't, because that subject is just too complex for this medium.
