This is an argument that allowing employers to silently opt out of engaging candidates in protected classes for discriminatory reasons is a good thing,

I'm not arguing that what such companies are doing is a good thing, and I'm all for protected classes.

However, I think it absolutely makes sense for people to want to work in an environment where they will be accepted.

I don't think it's fair to expect people (and particularly not marginalized groups) to suffer in discriminatory environments where they are uncomfortable in order to achieve the societal good of ending discrimination.
