What would stop a company from framing any kind of discrimination as an argument from 'market value'
Well, in theory the part where the employee goes somewhere else for a much better rate.
'Market value' does not exclude discrimination if most players in the market are ageist, sexist, or racist
Basically my argument is that in that case it is the job market that is racist; individual employers don't have to be racist to match market rates, even if the market is racist. Or at least that's what I'm mulling over.
