People have different standards of behaviour according to their social background. I think the average American or European would be unhappy if someone said &quot;I won&#x27;t sit next to this person because they&#x27;re black&quot; for whatever reason, personal, religious etc.<p>The same people consider gender discrimination to be approximately as bad as race discrimination.<p>The Hisidic person in question has some kind of problem with women because of their own background.
