Its discriminatory because if you don't know someone you can be SOL.
Thanks for explicitly explaining that part. Now that you've put it that way, it's a pretty apt term but I probably wouldn't have been able to figure out because that term is usually used for things like gender, race, etc. and my brain immediately jumped to that. Maybe I am just stupid, but sometimes it shouldn't be that hard to understand what people mean and it helps to be more explicit.
Good opportunity to talk about it. An awful lot of people are extremely solitary. I’d wager this is more of a problem than racial discrimination because:
- Lonely people aren’t visible, by definition,
- Solitude increases racism, so it would be worth solving,
- They often end up creating companies and being one’s boss.
