To be fair, this is just a further constriction of the current cohort of people allowed to live their lives with relatively little friction. Current disqualifiers include being poor, being a felon, and having an accent. May also include being a minority (interactions with law enforcement), being a woman (interaction with doctors and tradesmen), being a white dude with limited EQ (interactions with retail workers), and so on.

I just want to be explicit that my point isn't, "So what?" so much as, "We BEEN on that slippery slope." Social expectations (and related formal protocols in business) could do with some acknowledgement of our society's inherent... wait for it... ~diversity~.
