Personally I think these laws are likely fundamentally flawed anyway, as hiring is subjective.

Just because hiring is subjective doesn't mean everyone is equally subjective with respect to race/gender/etc.

I mean, aesthetics are subjective too but most people prefer not to have poo on a pedestal in their living room.

You can find strong and widespread biases (e.g., against fecal art) even in a subjective domain.

Not what I mean. I am thinking in terms of proving discrimination etc.
