Comment on Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza

Having relatives anywhere is not a protected class, to begin with.

Surely if I have relatives that are a protected class, I’d also likely be a protected class as well, no? Especially if I was kicked from their platform specifically because of the protected class…
But that’s irrelevant because I’m nowhere close to having standing to sue. The closest thing is that my SO is an naturalized citizen from another country, but that country is only marginally closer to Gaza than where I am.
